Tristram saw herds of buffaloes standing half buried in the mud inthe marshy ground bordering the sea of Galilee (Land of Israel, p. 429) ;and in the morasses of the Huleh herds of ill-looking buffaloes were wal-lowing in the mud, or standing with only their noses out of water (ib., p.588).

The Mosaic law discouraged the multiplication of horses (Deut. 17 : 16);but Solomon introduced them in great numbers (1 Kings 10 : 26 ; 2 Chron.1 : 14). Mules are first mentioned in Davids time (2 Sam. 13 : 29); for inGen. 36 : 24 the Hebrew word rendered mules might be better translatedwarm sprmgs, as in the Vulgate. Indeed, the Levitical law (Lev. 19 : 19)forbade the breeding of mules.
