WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Land is usually bought and sold by _caballerias_ (33.33 acres), _hectareas_ (2.47 acres), _manzanas_ (a square of one hundred yards), or _varas_ (2.78 feet). The most common weights are the _quintal_ (a hundredweight) and the _arroba_ (25 pounds of 16 ounces each). Among the Indios other weights and measures are used, but I could find no trustworthy information about them. They also retain the old cacao currency to some extent, and I have been offered cacao-beans for small change, as the cuartillo is not common away from the large cities. 400 cacao beans = contle. 8,000 ” ” = jiquipil = 20 contles. 24,000 ” ” = carga = 3 jiquipiles.
