Weights and Measures [no. 4, new series, 
narrow. A good proportion is that of 3 to 4, and the contents of a 
cylinder being given, it is easy to compute the requisite diameter 
and depth. 
Let 5= cubic contents given. 
<i= diameter to be found. 
/}=depth to be found. 
3:4=:diameter to depth. 
Then fl"! — ^ ' ^ = ^ I i_ 
From these Formulae, we obtain the following Table for both

If the " Seer" Weight of 77| Tolas=:2lbs Avoirdupois, be adopt- 
ed, the " Seer-measure" v/ill, if the vessel be struck, correspond 
sufficiently ; for the weight of rice varies from 112 to 114 tolas to 
100 cubic inches ; and if the 9 grain standard is taken, the above 
*' Seer-measure" will contain just 80 tolas, (at 116 tolas to lOO cubic 
inches) and be when sti^uck, the exact equivalent of what is now 
the average " Seer-measure" when heaped. This of course will 
render its introduction much easier than any other struck Measure 
that can be adopted. 
Even in Madras, where the Seer-measure" is not recognised
