^ This is further shown from the fact that a cwt. of 112 lbs. avdp. = 14-1 lis. Tower, or a great hundred — a gross of lbs.— Ly the old London standard. The standard of weight in tlie 68 NOTES.
English chaldron contains 32 bushels, the Scottish measure evidently represents the old Northumbrian standard. Northward of the Forth the boll was considerably heavier than the standard of southern Scotland, owing, perhaps, to the influence of Caithness weight, w...hich was probably akin to the Scandinavian silver weight, or Veitszlo pound of 16 oz.
