200 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. 

 d— diameter to be found. 

 h — depth to be found. 

 3:4= diameter to depth. 



And [II] h = d » x ' 7ji5i 



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" will, 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 containjust 80tolas, (at 116 tolas to 100 cubic 

 inches) and be when struck, 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 u Seer-measure' 5 is not recognised
