But as, in practice, they may not be filled to the maximum, it maybe inferred 

 that, relatively to a bushel, the proportion will stand as follows : — 



- 1 bushel. 12 Large punnets - 1 bushel. 



- 1 bushel. 16 Second punnets 1 bushel. 



- 1 bushel. 32 Third punnets - 1 bushel. 

 48 Least punnets - 1 bushel. 



In other words, they may be considered as follows : — 



Sieve equal to - ^ bushel. Large punnet - 5± pints. 



Haifa sieve - - 1 peck. Second punnet - 1 pottle. 



Quarter sieve - 1 gallon. Third punnet - 1 quart. 



Least punnet - 1| pint.
