This volume includes Macmillan's scientific and daily observations between 1938 and 1939 while exploring and collecting specimens from New Caledonia and surrounding islands. 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 Whitney South Sea Expedition, Macmillan was already well-versed in skinning and collecting bird specimens. He left the expedition to join the Australian military during World War II.
