A´I´N 80.
THE MUSTERS OF CAMELS.

The beginning is made with country-bred camels, of which five qaṭárs are daily inspected. Those pançadís (officers in charge of five hundred camels) come first who are oldest. The Head Dárogah has the permission to parade before His Majesty a qaṭár of excellent Bughdís and Jammázahs. Then come the Bughdís, and after them the Jammázahs, the G'hurds, the Loks, and all other camels. The commencement of the musters takes place on Fridays, on which day double the usual number marches past. The precedence of camels is determined by their value.
