60 cubic inches, or about li pint. These dimensions show nearly the quan- 

 tity sold under these denominations ; the precise quantity will of course 

 depend upon the manner of filling and heaping them." 



IVkaf is the Qumitlty included in " a Bunch^'' of each Kind of Article sold 

 by the Bunch in Covent Garden Market ? — Mr. Bevan asks this question 

 in these words : — " There are some articles usually sold by the bunch : if 

 any of your London correspondents will but take the trouble to ascertain 

 the medium weight of these bunches, much of the obscurity so long resting 

 upon these matters will be removed. It would also be giving very useful 

 information, if any person would publish an account of the weight, in 

 pounds, of the quantities usually sold by the sieve, half sieve, and punnet."
