Perhaps completely unrelated is the Royal Danish Rural Economy Society founded in 1769 [see: http://www.kb.dk/kultur/expo/porten/cult96/sect3-4.htm Actually that is just the Kongelige Danske Landhusholdningsselskab

Name in 1884 = Société Académique d'Agriculture, des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres du département de l'Aube
Gallica has only 1906 of the memoires.
But the entry in the BNF suggests that it may still be in existence.
The entry in the CTHS database says that it is still in existence with a slight variant on the long name above, as well as the shorter name Société Académique de l'Aube.
It also gives us numerous variant names, but as usual without any indication of when they were in use.

[According to Elogium Polycarpi Leyseri polyhistoris Helmstadiensis, Polykarp Leyser [1690-1728] founded a Societas Colligentium; the text of the latter document is entirely in Latin, so it may be that the Society actually has a better known name in German.]

Bergbaukunde = ???
This may be related to the Societät der Bergbaukunde, which may have been founded in 1786 (see http://www.culture.hu-berlin.de/hb/volltexte/texte/natsub/geheim.html)
There seems to be some especial interest in this society from Hungarian sites.
For historical information, see:
Fettweis, Günter B. [Hrsg.] : Über Ignaz von Born und die Societät der Bergbaukunde . Vorträge einer Gedenkveranstaltung zur 200. Wiederkehr des Gründungstages im September 1786 der Ältesten Internationalen Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft - - Wien: Verl. der Österr.

?
Magyar Nyelu - Mivelo Tersagag' Munkainak. = A Magyar nyelv-miveloe Tarsasag munkai
[The record in the Univ. Szeged cat. gives the title as Magyar Nyelv-Mívelõ Társaság' Munkái. (To retrieve the record, do a keyword search with Magyar as a title word and 1796 as the date of publication.) The records in the GBV German Union cat. indicates that the society's name is Magyar nyelv-mivelö társág, or Magyar nyelv miveloe Tarsasag. NOTE: társág may be a misprint for társaság. The correct name is likely Magyar Nyelv Mívelö Társaság or Magyar Nyelv Mívelő Társaság or Magyar Nyelvművelő Társaság (Hungarian Language Cultivation Association), where the o-umlaut should be read as an o with two acute accents above it.]
[The GBV records give holdings for one volume in 1796. There is also a GBV record beginning Benko József that makes it clear that this society was based in Translyvania (Erdélyi = Siebenbürgische = Transylvanian)] [GBV German Union cat.]
[There is an interesting catlogue record in the Univ. Szeged Libr. Cat. with the title: Az Erdélyi Magyar Nyelvmívelõ Társaság kétszáz éve : 1793- 1993, which seems to suggest that it still exists.]
[Check to see whether this is a predecessor of: Magyar Nyelvtudományi Társaság (founded in 1904)]
Reuss, v.4, p.270
Netherlands
Delft
Soc. Ultrajectina: Tandem Fit Surculus Arbor =? Opuscula societatis, cui symbolum, tandem fit surculus arbor [1776] [Univ. Utrecht cat.]
So the Society was in existence as early as 1776. There is also evidence from an archive in Delft that it was in existence as late as 1865: Inventaris van het archief van het wetenschap- en kunstminnend genootschap "tandem fit surculus arbor", 1828-1865
The name of the Society in Dutch is probably Genootschap onder de zinspreuk "Tandem Fit Surculus Arbor"
Reuss, v.9, p.49 cites p.64.

Edinburgh
Med. and Philos. Comment. by a Soc. in Edinburgh Reuss, v.4, p.49
Med. and Philos. Comment. by a Soc. of Edinburgh = Medical and Philosophical Commentaries [1774-1779 (v.1 -v.6)];
continued by: Medical Commentaries [1786 - 1795 (ser.2, v.1 - v.10)];
continued by: Annals of Medicine [1796 - 1800 (v.1 - v.5); 1801 - 1804 (ser.2, v.1 - v.3)];
continued by: Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal [1805 - (v.1 - )]; etc.
Another abbreviation is:
Med. and Philos. Comment. by a Soc. in Edinburgh
Reuss, v.4, p.49 cites Vol.5.
The founder of this journal is Andrew Duncan (1744-1828) according to Significant Scots: Andrew Duncan, which makes no allusion whatsoever to any associated society. It is hard to know what is meant by "by a Soc. of Edinburgh".

Spain
Madrid
Mem. de la Soc. Econ. de Madrid = Memorias / Sociedad Económica, Madrid [1780 - 1795 (v.1- v.5)]

Calif. cat., with the subject heading: Sociedad Económica de Madrid.
