Abstract

These are SIC #14 observation check-lists documenting birds seen July 5 - August 26, 1966, as part of Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program. Sheets list location (latitude and longitude, sometimes name of island in vicinity), observer (listed as Crossin et al), date, time (started), time (ended), and weather. There are notes about distance covered. Below this information is a list of species followed by abundance (quantity), breeding (quantity), and remarks. Counts are totaled at the bottom of each sheet; some include notes which appear to indicate specimens collected. On the verso of some sheets is flock data (time of day, quantity, type, sometimes behavior). Includes nocturnal observations. Locations include the vicinity of Howland and Baker Island.
