Lagopus:

Guineas, it was that for which I was grasping. I'd say units of distance of my forte with a rod, pole & perch being the same thing. But if you want to get CONfused, try to convert the Vara without knowing the units of the original intent. Interesting how folks, farmers for the most part, were able to covert from a perimeter or 2 sides of a tract to acres. It is possible that the conversion was based on the fact that 2 furlongs by 2 perches was 1 acre. Thanks for the info.

Kind Regards,

Raimey
