fire most serious; they may rise to the neck and throat and suffo
cate the animal in one or two days. On other parts the swell
ings are not so serious. It the disease is not fatal in a few days
there is a prospect of the animal’s recovery in a month or so.
Treatment. —Firing. This is done in a circle round each
swelling separately, with one or two cross lines through the circle.
(4) Murghak (kumri) is recognised, hut not common. It
is attributed to exposure to cold wind when heated and
treated by firing. There were cases, which would appear to be
kumri, reported in the Scinde Horse detachments. These horses
rapidly developed complete paralysis of the hind legs and died
within ele \ en days.
Distribution .—The first three of these diseases are consider*
ed to be confined to an area bounded by a line drawn from
theSiahKuh to Lash Juwain, thence to Alili on the Khash Rud,
from there by Amiran and Sar-u-tar to Chehar Burjak; from
this point to the Shilag and along the western shore of the Hamun
to the Siah Kuh.
Cause .—The local talent is most emphatic in attributing
the first three of these diseases to the Sistani flies. After flood
years the flies are very numerous, and the amount of illness
correspondingly great. The flies appear to come from the rank
undergrowth of tamarisk jungle, and from the edge of the Hamun;
thus, where the jungle is scanty, or civilization has increased, the
fly becomes less numerous, and the disease therefore less pre
valent. The flies are met with in great numbers on the dasht,
and this is accounted for by saying that they are blown there
by the wind, and accompany animals leaving the jungle. They
consider all the varieties equally harmful and protect their ani
mals with light clothing, particularly covering the abdomen.
Glanders is said to have been very common some years
ago, but recently to have died out.
diseases, Sistan is notoriously unhealthy for camels. The chief
causes of the mortality are—
(1) Pneumonia (Sistani sickness),
(2) Influenza.
(3) Sudden death at graze (poisonous plants ?),
(4) Surra,
(5) Severity of weather.
