" This history is the truth of the bay colt, which we presented
to his Excellency the Colonel Howard Vyse, the English Bey at
Cairo, the protected. His name is Abeian ; his breed is pure
Nedgdi; he was born at Cairo, in our habitation, on the 21st of
Giumal el Aker, T252,8 and his father and his mother are of the
best Arab horses. His mother's name is El Abeieh, daughter of
El Aheieh, her colour is white, and the colour of her mother was
bay; and her father's name was Abeiiin the Hendees, his colour
was white, and he pure Nedgdi. The father of the beforementioned
colt is a Hadbaan, by name Gerboa ; his colour is white, and his
mother is Hadba, the Nedgdi, her colour is white, and her father's
name is Gelwan, the son of Hadba, and the colour of his mother
is white. The whole are from the Nedgdi horses, celebrated
amongst the Arabs.

As far as breed, soundness of constitution, and good limbs, are
desirable, a cross of Arab blood may be of service ; but, with some
few exceptions, such as those mentioned in the Pacha's stud at
Shoubrah, Arabs have not in general the form or length neces-
sary for race-horses -, in fact, the use, to which they are applied,
does not require them, nor are they bred with a view only to swift-
ness. The colt in question is very low, barely fourteen hands,
and has small bone, but is muscular, and so much furnished,
that his age has been doubted, till repeated examinations of his
mouth proved that his pedigree was correct. He shews blood,
has fine action, is remarkably healthy, and has great courage,
as he some time since proved by leaping a gate three feet nine
inches high, and a boarded door seven feet from the gate, and five
feet six inches in height; which he cleared with his forehand and
