This folder contains tables and photocopies of data sheets reporting results from the Smithsonian Oceanographic Sorting Center (SOSC) of stomach content analysis for Pacific Oceanographic Biological Survey Program (POBSP) 6, SOSC ref. no. 149. A handwritten table and typewritten transcription record field number, species, date, locality, and remarks for bird stomachs sent to SOSC. The tables list individuals collected from the Pacific Ocean and islands in Alaska, Hawaii, the Marshall Islands, the Line Islands, and other Pacific Ocean islands and atolls. Birds were collected May 8 through November 17, 1964. Another table, "SOSC ref. no. 149 POBSP no. 6," summarizes data from the data sheets. The tables list more field numbers/station numbers than are represented by the data sheets in the folder. The data sheets record data for birds collected May 8 through August 4, 1964, from Sand Island, St. George Island, and the Pacific Ocean. Each data sheet records the stomach contents of an individual bird. Stomach contents were recorded June through August 5, 1965. Fields include sta. no., species, SOSC ref. no., POBSP. no., lat. & long., date, time caught, squid, squid beaks, fish, fish remains, parasitic animals, Crustacea, other animals, parasitic animals, notes on squid, notes on fish, and general notes.
