__ of measure (miles or pounds) (5)

I believe the answer is:

units

(Other definitions for units that I've seen before include "Eg, cm, kg and ft" , "Measures of alcohol" , "Single undivided wholes" , "Figure on the right" , "Individual things, like pieces of furniture" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
