Proceedings of the Ashmolean Society

One record in the Oxford Univ. cat. indicates that Vols.1, 2 were supplied with title-leaves reading Abstracts of the Proceedings. This same record in the Oxford Univ. cat. gives the numbering as 1844-68 (Vol.1-3; new ser., no.1-5).

Another record in the Oxford Univ. cat. indicates that No. 30 was never published, and gives the numbering as No. 1, 1832-33 [1833?]-no. 35?, 1857 [1857?]

The entry in RSLC, v.1, p.xvii gives the title as Abstracts of the Proceedings of the Ashmolean Society, and the numbering as Vols. I-II. 1844-54. Vol. III. Nos. 31-35 (1853-57).

Report of the Ashmolean Society

Ceased publication 1878-1900? The record in the Oxford Univ. cat. appears to suggest that this serial retained this title from 1900-1907, that is, during a period when the name change would have taken place because of the merger with the Oxfordshire Natural History Society.
