206 TEMMINCK'S GENERAL VIEW OF TIIE DUTCH 
In 1840 it was proposed to Government to introduce the ass and 
camel into Java, as beasts of burden. In consequence of this atrial 
has just been made to naturalize the Camel in this Island. These 
useful animals were brought from Teneriffe. They have been kept in 
the residency of Samarang, and their number in 1841 amounted to 8 
males, 29 females and 11 young, of which 7 were males and 4 females. 
The Camel does not seem to be adapted to the climate of Java, 
and there is a doubt if it can render much service to agriculture 
particularly as a means of transport. On level ground the male can 
only carry 4 piculs and the female 3, Java being covered with moun¬ 
tains for three fourths of its surface, they will not be able to bear 
such a weight, all these Camels have successively perished. 
The model stud established at Tjanjor under the Government of 
the Baron van der Capellan has not furnished encouraging results ; 
the number of 230 horses which were there in 1840 has sustained a 
loss of 35 ; it is brought according the census of 1841 to 16 stallions 
104 mares, and 75 colts. 
This stud, established with the intention of improving the breed of 
native horses, still leaves much to be wished for in its organization 
and the choice of horses. It is asserted that the country and the 
soil where it is established are not suitable; it is also said that the 
administration is defective and that it wants funds. An establish¬ 
ment of this kind deserves to fix the attention of Government, which 
certainly will busy itself with it for the benefit of the army and agri¬ 
culture. 
The two tables of the export of produce of the whole Archipelago 
in 1826 and 1836, serve to shew the remarkable increase which has 
taken place since the introduction of the system of cultures.
