For a given graph H, a non-increasing sequence pi = (d(1), d(2), ... , d(n)) of nonnegative integers is said to be potentially H-graphic if there exists a realization of pi containing H as a subgraph. The split graph K(r) + (K) over bar (s) on r + s vertices is denoted by S(r,s). In this paper, we give a Rao-type characterization for pi to be potentially S(r,s)-graphic. A simplification of this characterization is also presented.
