 Egyptian Sudan. July 29, 1920.) Sorghums 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 if many forms occur that 

 are not included in this set. Sorghums are not used for any pur- 

 pose here by the natives."
