Abstract
Summary of the types of mammals found on Uvea (Ouvea) Island and notes about each. It was compiled by Macmillan while on the Whitney South Sea Expedition, which was primarily aimed at collecting bird specimens. He led the expedition from 1935 to 1940, and his wife Joy accompanied him on the expedition, acting as assistant. 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.
