Just a note here on the names of about the greatest English-language scientific journals of all time, the Philosophical Transactions… (“Phil Trans”). Like the great Annalen der Physik, which also had its fair share of name changes over the centuries (see here), the Phil Trans had a number of incarnations since it began in 1665.  The list below is just a thumbnail reference for the proper name of the journal at the proper time, and it might make searching for things a little easier.
