Subject: Re: Old serials citation help

almost certainly:
Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society (v.1, 1822- v.23,
1928) ISSN 1203-1101

Possible other titles it might be confused with:
Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical society (v.1,1843-v.76,1974),
continued by
Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.

also:
Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society Biological Sciences
(1,1923-25)
continued by Biological reviews and biological proceedings of the
Cambridge Philosophical Society
and later by Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society

Gary:
This information is from Worldcat

It MAY be:  the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.
Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, OCLC 1764611, and
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B
Biological Sciences, OCLC 4286288, both of which cover 1896-1934.
"Comb." would refer to the two series.

I hope this helps
