"Our diamond weights are as follows:—
16 parts = 1 (diamond) grain = 4/5 grain, troy. 4 diamond grains = 1 carat = 3 1/5 (3.174 grains, troy).
"The Indian weights are:—
1 Dhan = 15.32 grains, troy, in round numbers half a grain. 4 Dhary = 1 Rati = 1 2/3 grains, troy. 8 Rati = 1 Masha = 18 grains, troy. 12 Mashas = 1 Tola = 180 grains troy.
"The 'ounces' in the text probably represents 'tolas,' certainly not troy ounces of 24 grains."
