gathered together at the same time—an exceedingly improbable
contingency in regions where there are no adequate means of
communication, and none but a loose tribal organization. Nor are
the conditions of pasturage and water-supply prevailing in the
Hamad suitable to large concentrations of men and animals. The
total number of camels among the Ruweihvh, ‘Amariit, Feckan,
and Siba‘ must be greater than in any other part of Arabia. They
cannot, all told, be reckoned at much less than an average of 50 to
a tent. The Wuld ;Ali are not so well supplied!, but they may
own about 20 to a tent. At this estimate the camel-herds of the
northern Anazah would touch a very large figure—some 000,000
animals.
