 All these numbers were collected near the Nile on land previously 

 cultivated by the natives, the soil naturally producing tall Cyra- 

 bopogon and Panicumlike grasses, much like the Kongo at Kabalo.

 1394, 1396-1398, Nile bank, opposite Rejaf, Mongalla Province, 

 Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. July 29, 1920.) All these sorghums were 

 collected in a great field of this wild grass just across from 

 Rejaf. They probably represent types found here and should be 

 carefully studied. Wide variation is shown, and it is doubtful 

 whether many forms occur that are not included in this set. i 

 Sorghums are not used for any purpose here by the natives." ]
