A Puzzle: Collection Academique

Collection Académique de Turin ' in Phil. Trans. Vol. 130 (1840), p.392 cites Vol. 5.

Collection Academique ' in Phil. Trans. Vol. 65 (1775), p.426 cites v.15, 1772.

But what is this?

CCFR has two entries beginning "Collection Acadimique" in which it seems that specific volumes are extracts from different scholarly society journals. The problem is that in the 13 vol. set of 1755-1779 the Turin vol. is vol. 13. Is there perhaps another edition that a person in 1840 might have had access to? We do have a ref. to this very abbrev. in http://histsciences.univ-paris1.fr/i-corpus/lavoisier/page-detail.php?pagedebut=29&pageNumber=30&bookId=4 referring to a memoire of Macquer on the solubility of salts in spirit of wine. Reuss, v.3, p.36 gives this reference as Miscell. soc. Taurinensis T.3 & T.5.
