Yet lie does not lose heart or condition, and is always ready to gallop at the end of the longest march, a thing we have never ventured to propose to our horses on any previous journey. In disposition the Arabians are gentle and affectionate, familiar indeed almost to the extent of being trouljlesome. They have no fear of man whatsoever, and will allow anyone to come up to them when grazing, and take them by the head. If they happen to be lying down, they will not move though you

Bay is still more common, and white horses, though fashionable in the desert, are rare. Our white Hamdaniyeh mare, Sherifa, which came from Nejd, was immensely admired among the Gomussa for the sake of her colour almost as much as for her head, A\'hicli is indeed of extraordinary beauty. The drawing at thebeginning of this chapter is her very faithful portrait. Perhaps out of a hundred mares among the Anazeh one would see thirty-five bay, thirty grey, fifteen chestnut, and the rest brown or black. Eoans, piebalds, duns, and yellows, are not found among the pure bred Arabians, though the last two occasionally are among Barlxs. The bays often have black points and generally a white foot, or two or three white feet, and a snip or blaze down the face. The chestnuts vary from the brightest to the dullest shades, and I once saw a mottled brown. The tallest and perhaps handsomest horse we saw Avas a Samhanel-Gomeaa, a three-year-old bay with black points, standino' about fifteen hands one inch. He was a little clumsy, however, in his action, though that may have been the fault of his breaking. He had bone enough to satisfy all recjuirements, even those of a Yorkshire man, but showed no sign of lacking cjuality. AVith very few exceptions, all the handsomest mares Ave saAv were bay, Avhich is without doubt by far the best colour in Arabia as it is in England. The chestnuts, as with us, are hot tem-
