Unit Definition (hectometer)
A hectometre (American spelling: hectometer, symbol: hm) is a measurement of distance equal to 100 metres. This measure is rarely used and is included mostly for completeness, since usage of the SI prefix hecto is no longer recommended.

Unit Definition (cana (canna, canne))
The caña (canna, canne) are traditional units of distance in Spain, Italy, and southern France, respectively. The caña varied in size, but it was most often defined as 8 palmos, which makes it the Mediterranean version of the fathom, equal to roughly 2 meters or 6.5 feet. In Italy a measuring stick is still called a canna metrica. The unit is sometimes translated to "rod" in English, but "fathom" is the proper choice.
