traffic towards the south. It is said that a certain amount of
camel-breeding is done in the Shahr-i-Babak district. No
mules are bred in the district and very tew are owned. Thest
that are seen in Yazd come in from outside in caravans. Don
keys are numerous and are useti considerably for triuisport pur

Camels and donkeys are the chief means of transport, but
no figures are available a-; to the numbers belonging to the

In It) 17 during the march from Bandar Abbas to Sh'raz the
outstanding feature from a veterinary point of view was the
number of cases of foot lameness in the transport mules, and the
extensive galls from the pack saddlery and gzfang in the mules
and camels. The mules were not shod, and, as the going was
very hard and stony and the marches, long and arduous, they
suffered exceedingly from bruised feef and lamiriitis, and a good
many had to be left behind at the varirtufe stages. The Assistant
Director of Veterinary Sendee with the Column reported that,
had the mules been shod with the special Wide-webbed shoe
which is used for indigenous transport animals’, the percentage
•of foot trouble would have been much less. He advised that
all mules sent to Southfen Persia should he shod before being
sent up country, preferably with the local pattern shoe, though
the Indian pattern shoe would be better than nothing. The
advantages ai ti (.isadva cages of the Persian method oi elioeing
are described on page 118.
The Persian pack saddle has many advantages over the
Indian pattern for use in Southern Persia. For though it
appears somewhat huge and cumbrous, it distributes the weight
over a much larger surface than does the Indian pattern. These
saddles do excellently in the hands of the Persian chdrvdcldr.
