This volume is a catalog of bird specimens collected at sea on Southern Island Cruises (SIC) on the Pacific Ocean from 24 January to 20 May 1966 for the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program. The cover of the volume says "At-sea SIC 11 specimen catalogue" and also says "SIC 11 & 12." The folder title says "SIC 11, 13 (?)"

Pago Pago Harbor, American Samoa, is a locality for one record. Fields include S.I. field #, species, location, date, lat., long., sex, wt., and remarks.
