    SECTION VI. MISCELLANEOUS. In general, grazing conditions were good throughout the pasto» ral areas. Locusts and fires were reported to have caused damage in some areas. The condition of Government animals was generally good but in urban areas owing to strict rationing of grain and increased costs of animal fodder some owners of working animals found it difficult to keep them in condition. The army remount depot at Wad Medani was closed down in December and the remaining animals transferred to the depot at Khartoum. The animal strength of Sudan Defence Force units at the end of the year was as follows :— Horses . 444 Mules . 365 Camels . 165 Donkeys . 14 Bulls . 48 Owing to the difficulty during recent years of purchasing suf¬ ficient suitable camels for the police a remount depot was established in Kassala, thereby enabling the province A7eterinary Inspector to purchase animals unfit for immediate police service on account of immature age or poor condition.
