are imported. In Montgoraery are found tliree kinds; Sohdwd, 

 brownj with long lips, medium sized head and tMck skin; Ganda, 

 grey, Avitli large head, small mouth, and thin skin^ (the best 

 variety) ; Hazara, red, with a very small tail (the worst variety); 

 Baqga, white; and Batta, red or bay; these two latter are in- 

 ferior. Here, also, Sowari Camels are imported from Bikaneer 

 and Jesselmeer. In the Hazara districts are few camels and these 

 have come into use since the British occupation led to making 

 of roads. A few are bred in the District, but most, called 

 '' Beloochies," are imported from Kalabagh on the Indus in 

 Bannoo. They are large, thick-set animals with long dark hair 

 and probably come from Afghanistan. 



6. Bikaneer Gamels come from Eajpootana, those of Bagri 

 and Harotiya being considered especially good. Like those of 

 Punjab and Scinde these camels suffer much from cold. Eajpoo- 

 tana supplied the camels used in the Siege of Delhi. 



7. Some Gamels are bred in the North-West Provinces and Oicdh 

 but ai-e not of much value for transport purposes. Those from 

 Thull, near Bahawalpore are useless, meanspirited beasts, although 

 to all appearance very fine. They are called by the natives Taloo- 

 cher and do not make good bag'gag-e animals. 



8. Persian Gamels resemble those already described as Paha- 

 ree or Hill Camels. Col. Stewart (Lecture before Royal Geogra- 

 phical Society, Proceedings, September 1881) notices the Seistan 

 Camels ridden by Beloochi marauders of the Persian frontier. 

 These camels are remarkable for their speed. " They can go 70 

 or even 80 miles a day, carrying one and sometimes two men and 

 a little food" * * * * These camels require water every other 

 day and can on a jmsh last three days without water ; they " find 

 enough grazing in the less arid spots of the desei*t to support life, 

 assisted by a little food supplied by their owners in the form of 

 barley meal mixed Vf^ith just enough water to make a paste. A 

 camel can exist in this way for a few weeks ouly while the foray 

 lasts." The Beloochis generally water their camels at lonely 

 springs in the desert every second day. {Marvin's Reconnoitering 

 Central Asia). 



Dunlop Anderson tells us that Camels are not numerous in the 

 Isorthern parts of Asia Minor where the dense forests and gene- 

 rally clayey soil cause the mud to remain long on the ground.
