APPENDIX II.

CAMEL EQUIPMENT.

(Offside.)

A. Zuleetahs (red leather and white canvas). B. Saddle-cover (red leather). C. Rolled blankets and tente d'abri.

D. Namaqua rifle-bucket (brown leather), with strap to fasten on the near side.

E. Water-skin (dark brown), resting on a yellow leather flap. F. 15 Ib. bag of corn. GG. Girths.

H. Stirrup.

JJ. Protecting flaps of red leather.

K. Small red cushion use doubtful. The near side is very similar, the roll corresponding to C consisting of the great-coat and waterproof sheet, whilst the mussek (long Egyptian water-bottle) hangs in the place corresponding to that occupied by the rifle-bucket.

The girths are separate from the saddle, and pass over the framework. At one end of the girth is an iron ring, at the other a strip of leather. Each is simply fastened by knotting the strip of leather on to the iron ring on one side of the camel.

The stirrup-leather is either nailed on or hung round one of the bars of the framework.
