4. Bryan on Marcus Island. 



[A Monograph of Marcus Island. An Account of its Physical Features 

 and Geology, with Descriptions of the Fauna and Flora. By William 

 Alanson Bryan, B.Sc. Honolulu : Bishop Museum Press, 1903.] 



Marcus Island is a little speck of land in the North 

 Pacific, in lat. 24° 14' N. and long. 154° E., some 1400 miles 

 from Honolulu. It was formerly claimed by the Japanese, 

 but is now acknowledged to belong to the U.S. Mr. Bryan 

 visited it, in the interest of the " Bishop Museum " of 

 Honolulu, in a ship belonging to a Guano Company, but did 

 not make a long stay. There were no land-birds on the 

 island, but 56 specimens of marine birds and waders were 

 obtained, which are referred to 18 species. Most of these 

 are well known, but a new Noddy is described as Micranous 

 inarcusi. Good field-notes are given on all the species.
