THE DROMEDARY. The single-humped species of the Camel tribe is sometimes called the Arabian Camel, because found in its greatest per- 

 fection in Arabia. It is an ungainly animal, but is indispensable where great deserts are to be traversed, its capacity for traveling long distances without 

 water and its great powers of endurance making it the most useful of all beasts of burden throughout northern Africa, and in Asia from the Red Sea 

 to India. (Camelus dromedarius.)
