Abstract
Geographic, cultural, and biological summaries and surveys of the Loyalty Islands, specifically Uvea (Ouvéa) Island during Macmillan's 1938 expedition year. These notes were compiled and edited from original material. Macmillan led the Whitney South Sea Expedition from 1935 to 1940. His wife Joy accompanied him and acted as assistant for part of the expedition. Lindsay Macmillan was trained by A.J. Marshall, a well-known Australian ornithologist. Before joining the expedition, Macmillan was already well-versed in skinning and collection bird specimens. He left the expedition to join the Australian military during World War II.
