rogans eum quod consulat Deum suum, si pater de tali infirmitate euadet, vel non.

Then the deerskin door was again opened and in came Indians with birch-bark dishes, called rogans, in which were nicely prepared wild ducks, rabbits, and partridges.

It was not long before he met the raccoon awkwardly carrying a birch rogan that he had stolen from a couple of blind men.

This dinner consisted of eight pieces of meat which, when cooked, were placed in their rogan, or wooden bowl.

The poor old men, each believing that the other had struck him, began to fight; and so they upset the rogan and lost the rest of their dinner and nearly set the wigwam on fire.

"So he seized the raccoon and killed him, and carried his body back to the tent of the blind men and made out of it a great feast for them, and declared that in future the old raccoons should have to carry as many circles on their tails as pieces of meat that had been stolen out of the rogan of the blind men.

Early next morning came a message from Prince Kumal, inviting me to visit the caves of Shahr-Rogan, an excavated village of great antiquity, about ten miles from Beïla.

Following the stream, we gained the narrow ravine through which it flows, and, turning into one of the lateral branches, entered Shahr-Rogan.

" The caves of Shahr-Rogan are not the only sights of interest near Beïla.

Time, unfortunately, would not admit of my visiting the mud-volcanoes of Las, situated near the Harra Mountains, about sixty miles from Shahr-Rogan.

" On the way back from Shahr-Rogan to Beïla a herd of antelope was seen.

From Mekrán and Las Beïla are exported "rogan," or clarified butter used for cooking purposes, hides, tobacco (of a very coarse kind), salt fish, oil-seeds, and dates.

The natives overcame their shyness next morning, and brought us goat's milk and "rogan," or clarified butter.

The thickened fluid is then boiled with rogan and eaten with bread.

Ilia quidem fugiens, sparsis per terga capillis, Ora rigat lacrimis, et coelum questibus implet: Talia voce rogans.
