       The camel, in Hebrew {gamal,} retained with little variation
       in all languages, is, according to the Linn(9161)n system, a genus
       of quadrapeds of the order pecora; comprehending the camel,
       properly so called, with two prominences; the dromedary, with
       a single one; the lama, or Peruvian camel, with the back even
       and the breast gibbose, and the pacos, or camel without any
       gibbosity.  The camel, properly so called, is about 6芟feet in
       height:  its head is small; ears short; neck long, slender,
       and bending; legs long and slender, having four callosities on
       the fore legs and two on the hinder, on which it rests; feet
       soft, parted, but not thoroughly divided; bottom of the foot
       tough and pliant; tail about two feet in length, terminating
       in a tuft; and hair fine, soft, of considerable length, and of
       a dusky reddish colour.  Besides the same internal structure
       as other ruminating animals, it is furnished with an
       additional bag for containing a quantity of water till wanted.

     * men.  Heb. souls of men.
