The Occurrence of double seeds in cereals is frequently reported.The Presence of double seeded varieties in sorghum is on record.In a previous article(G.N.R.Ayyangar and M.A.S.Ayyar,1929)the stray occurrence of double seeds in a variety of sorghum (S.Roxb varhians.)has been reported and the possibility of accentuating this double grained condition by continued selection over a period of years indicated.Such selection work was done but resulted in no appreciabe increase in doubleness.The range of occurrence proved to be of about the same degree of flutuation.
