[6] Two weights of that name are described as used in India for the sale
of pepper and other commodities, the small and the large bahar; the
former consisting of three, and the latter of four and a half peculs.
The pecul is said to weigh 5 1/2 pounds avoirdupois: Consequently the
smaller bahar is equal to 16 1/2, and the larger to 24 3/4 English

portions, the Concan in the north, after this the coast of Canara, and
in the south, the country of Malabar, reaching from Mount Deli to Cape
Comorin. At the present period, Malabar was divided into seven
kingdoms or provinces: Cananor, Calicut, Cranganor, Cochin, Porka,
Coulan, a
