'I'he latter figure should be compared with the estimated seed of 8.800 marklands after tlie norm of 24 sj)anns to the markland or 211.200 spanns. All these dates put together make good reason to believe, that a ta.xation of 5'iennelithe of 120 öres indicates an assessment of one bund or 100 ploughlands. The list of 54ennetilhe for the bisho()ric of Uppsala shows, in addition to the figures for the churches in the folklands, the taxations for the churches in the Xorrland-part of the bishopric, including the provinces of Hälsinglan d.
