Abstract
Detailed specimen studies and histories of birds observed and collected on or near the Lifu and Loyalty Islands in 1938. Brief mention is also made of local mammals. 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 Whitney expedition to join the Australian military during World War II.
