Abstract
Catalog of mammals collected between 1921 and 1930 by participants on the Whitney South Sea Expedition. Information includes field catalog number, animal name, locations and dates. Locations include the Society Islands, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal, British New Guinea, Samoa, the New Hebrides and Santa Cruz. Most of the location and date entries appear to have been added at a later date and are in a different hand. The Whitney Expeditions primary goal was to collect ornithological specimens in the islands of the South Pacific region.
