PIECE GOODS.
The second group in the Table includes bleached goods. The first example given,
No. 463, Vol. XII., is perhaps as beautiful a specimen of calico as it is possible to produce.*
In this division, likewise, will be found some specimens like the ordinary Punjum cloths,
which during the last century occupied such a prominent place in the exports from Madras.
The usual lengths of such cloths were 38 cubits, or 18 yards, and they varied in width
from 38 to 44 inches, 14 lbs. being the common weight. Pieces of half the above-named
length were exported under the name of Salempores.
