This article arises out of our experience in the compilation of a bibliography on the East African economies of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda. Approximately one-quarter of the items were gathered between 1976 and 1979 by Killick, and the compilation of the remainder was organized by Finucane and Rupley in 1980 and 1981. The classification system was largely designed by Killick. Nearly all the work was carried out at the University of Nairobi. The bibliography is to be published by G.K. Hall, Boston, as Tony Killick, Lawrence Rupley, Brendan Finucane, The Economies of East Africa: 1974-1980. This present compilation serves to update Tony Killick's The Economies of East Africa( Boston: G.K. Hall, 1976), which covered the 1963-1974 time period. For the most part, this volume takes up where the earlier one ended, although items missed in the earlier one are included herein.
