Included are details on Tanna Island, Aniwa Island, Erromanga Island, as well as Aneityum and Futuna Islands. Correspondence is between Macmillan and Ernst Mayr at AMNH. These notes were compiled and edited from original material. Macmillan led the Whitney South Sea Expedition from 1935 to 1940 and his wife Joy accompanied him on the expedition as assistant.

Lindsay Macmillan was trained by A.J. Marshall, a well-known Australian ornithologist. Before joining Whitney South Sea expedition, Macmillan was already well-versed in skinning and collection bird specimens. He left the Whitney to join the Australian military during World War II.
