Evenin' all,

Can anyone tell me how I should recalculate "long. 4 1/4 unc. Lat. 2 5/8
unc." To modern measurements ? I do get longitude and latitude, but the
"unc" is a mystery to me.
The above quoted comes from G. B. Sowerby (I), 1825 (the Tankerville
catalog) from the appendix, from the description of Pyrula ventricosa (Ficus
ventricosus).

Many thanks in advance

Chris
