The subject of growth of groups has been active in the former Soviet Union since the early 1950s and in the West since 1968, when articles of Švarc and Milnor have been published independently. The main purpose of this note is to quote a few articles showing that, before 1968 and at least retrospectively, growth of groups has already played some role in various subjects.
