Note on the palmo: Manuel Carrera Stampa distinguishes between the palmo and palmo mayor, but his table is internally inconsistent and cannot be correct. The Mexican unit called the palmo has the same magnitude and subdivisions as the palmo mayor of Spain, leaving one to wonder what the Mexican palmo mayor is. We have listed the palmo mayor with the magnitude Stampa gives. Perhaps a reader can throw some light on this problem. Apparently the palmo, though inherited from Spain, was not much used in Mexico.
