BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SORGHUM. 



The following attempt has been made towards the chronological ar- 

 rangement of the literature of sorghum, and, although it is confessedly 

 imperfect, it will at least assist those who may desire to investigate for 

 themselves the history of this plant. 



Many of the most valuable articles have appeared in the current 

 publications, of which it was obviously impossible to procui'e a record. 

 At some future time the list may be brought to a condition more nearly 

 complete.
