2 ably above 30,000 more. The artillery consisted
3 in Runjeet's time of 376 guns, and 370 swivels
4 mounted on camels or on light carriages adapted
5 to their size. There is no distinct corps of artil-
6 lery as in other services, but there are 4,000 or
7 5,000 men, under a daroga, trained to the duty

9 ordnance throughout the regular army. The
10 costume of the regular infantry is scarlet, with
11 different coloured facings, to distinguish regi-

13 are of blue linen ; the head-dress is a blue turban,
14 with one end loose, and spread so as to entirely
15 cover the head, back of the neck, and shoulders ;
16 the belts are of black leather ; the arms a musket
17 and bayonet, the manufacture of Lahore. The
18 cav&lry wear helmets or steel caps, round which
19 shawls or scarfs are folded. The irregulars^ in
20 their dress and appointments, fully justify the ap-

23 cloth tunics of various colours, with the addition
24 of shawls, cloaks, breast-plates, or coats of mail,
25 with turbans or helmets, ad libitum^ impart to

28 said even of the regular cavalry in this respect.
