Local measures. ---There is nothing worthy of note about these. The local paseri of five for two sers is current in this district. Ip Dalmau a local ser larger than the imperial ser has been current for generations. This consists of sixteen gandas, each ganda being four Maddu Sáhi pice; each of these weighs 270 grains, and the weight of the ser will be conse- quently 17,280 grains, the Government ser being 14,400 grains. Since annexation, however, the baniáns in some places have reduced the weight of the ser to fourteen gandas; this will come to 15,120 grains, or exactly one British Indian ser and four tolas. The Sháhjahanpur bigha of 4,025 square yards is everywhere used, but local bíghas bearing no proportion to it, supposed to be based on the same unit of measurement, are also used collaterally. The measures of length and capacity are common to Oudh.
