spent November of that year in 'Arabistan and then went to Isfahan
where he remained until September 1891; this officer examined
in all 10,953 mules, of which he purchased 64 j for artillery and
1,727 for transport work: of the whole only 46 were obtained in
'Arabistan. The two latest deputations of officers from India to Persia
for the purchase of mules have been those of Major G. H. Arbntlmot
and Tjieutenant V. P. B. Williams; the former of these made Isfahan
his principal centre and between April and October 1904 collected 953
mules; while the latter, who devoted his attention chiefly to the districts
adjoining Kirmanshah and to Pusht-i-Kuh, obtained 85 ordnance and
156 transport mules during the period from June to October 1907.*
The exportation of the animals purchased by these representatives of the
Army "Remount Department is not traceable in the annual statistics for
the ports of Bushehr and Muhammareh; it may perhaps have been
intentionally omitted as an official transaction. The result of these
deputations has been to show that there are difficulties in the way of the
establishment of an ordinary trade in mules from Per si? to India^ the
demand at Bombay and Karachi being at present chiefly military, an
that, in order to obtain mules from Persia, it may probably continue to be
necessary to send purchasing officers from India.
