Note (return) — FAS TO TIMBUCTOO,
Reading edition
Goats are very large, as big as the calves in England, and very plentiful; sheep are also very large. Cattle are small; many are oxen. Milk of camels and goats is preferred to that of cows. Horses are small, and are principally fed upon camels' milk; they are of the greyhound 50 shape, and will travel three days without rest. They have dromedaries 51 which travel from Timbuctoo 52 to Tafilelt in the short period of five or six days.
