If the exigencies of the trade require it, this number would probably be doubled, the
Keraia Kush obtaining additions without difficulty from the local market.

In the month of April these horses are put on green food, and they are not available
for transport till the end of May.

Pony carriage in Kashghar is practically unlimited, and some 2,000 camels could be
engaged in Kashghar without difficulty.
