OBIS Australia Open in mapper Explore occurrences

Seabird observations made on five voyages between Australasia and the Panama Canal by passenger vessels during the period 1939 to 1948. Each observer kept, or endeavoured to keep, daily records based on more or less regular periods of watching, supplemented by observations made by other interested passengers or by ships' officers, who also supplied noon positions.
