[c]. Distribution :—One mule for gun (weight carried 260 lbs.); one for carriage (250 lbs.); one for wheels and shaft (200 lbs.); one spare. Three camels as relief on the line 
of march ; these camels carry ammunition where not used for the gun and carriage. Weight of ammunition load for one mule 
= 200 lbs. In addition to 
the above there are also nine camels per batttery—viz., three for each section as transport. 
[d~\. The proportion per cent, of ammunition is as follows :—50 shrapnel, 40 ringed, 10 case. 
The reason of larger proportion of ringed shell to European armies is the small 
range of effective shrapnel.
