^ The size and weight given in these tables I verified myself from a large 

 number of the varieties in question. They relate to the best qualities unless 

 otherwise specified. The weight af the Mon-Tengu-j6, or figured Tengu-j6, is 

 not given because it varies too much owing to the manner of pressing \yith 

 slaked hme. The prices are such as I found among the paper makers of Nibu, 

 _Makidani-mura, Ino, Ichikawa, Umadzu, and Kurasawa, or among the dealers 

 in Tokio.
