ARABIAN CASIEL OR DROMEDARY. Ill 
The Camels of the IS ew World, known under the 
common name of the Llamas, and the scientific title 
of Auclienici of Illiger, differ from those we have 
been just reviewing, by their much smaller size ; the 
largest specimen being only about four feet four 
inches high at the shoulder. Their whole appear- 
ance is more deer or goat-like, possessing a propor- 
tionally smaller head, long ears, and a lively eye of 
much brightness. In the form of the foot they 
also materially differ ; it is truly cloven or divided 
into two bent or ciooked hoofs, and has no connect- 
ing horny sole like the true camels. The outline 
of the back is nearly straight, and without any ap- 
pearance of the fatty humps. In the toothing, the 
incisors are placed at some distance from each other, 
and have exactly the shape of ranine teeth. The 
true canine teeth are considerably larger, and the 
cheek teeth form a regular series like those of the 
generality of ruminants, but consisting of only two 
false and three true molars. In the lower jaw there 
are but six incisors, the two outmost having all the ‘ ^ 
character of canines. The cheek teeth consist of 
one false molar and three true ones.* From the 
structure of the stomach also, these animals are en- 
titled to rank with the camels. It was considered 
that this organ did not exliibit the same structure 
for retaining water as was observable in the Ara- 
bian Camel ; but it was lately shewn by Dr Knox 
* Ben7it‘tt.
