Hollandsche Maatschappij van Landbouw (HMvL)
(Holland Society of Agriculture)
[Also known as
Hollandse Maatschappij van Landbouw (HMvL)
for part of its existence.
This may be considered the successor to the
Maatschappij ter Bevordering van den Landbouw te Amsterdam
(1776-1847).
There are references to the HMvL as late as 1986
(see
Regionaal Archief Alkmaar: overzicht).
There are remarks in a
book review of Agrarische kwaliteit van de Hoeksche Waard
that suggest that the Maatschappij was in some sense continued by the
Westelijke Land- en Tuinbouworganisatie (WLTO) (which gives its
official founding date as 1991).
The situation is not perfectly clear.]

Pontificia Accademia delle Scienze (PAS) =
Pontificia Academia Scientiarum
(Pontifical Academy of Sciences)
[The Academy traces its roots to the famous Accademia dei Lincei,
which had been founded in 1606 and which disbanded in 1630.
Pope Pius IX in 1847 (more than two centuries after it had been
disbanded) resurrected it as the Accademia Pontificia dei Nuovi
Lincei.
In 1870 or 1871, the Accademia split into two parts, one retaining
the ecclesiastical name (which was changed in 1903 to Pontificia
Accademia Romana dei Nuovi Lincei), and the other taking the secular
name Reale Accademia dei Lincei indicating royal patronage.
This latter society later became the Accademia Nazionale dei
Lincei.]
