The Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program (hereafter referred to as POBSP) of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., conducted an ecological survey in the Central Pacific Ocean, with particular emphasis on the avifauna. As part of this program, a two month field trip to the Marshall and Gilbert Islands was made in October-November of 1964. Later studies were undertaken in June 1966 and in April-May 1967. This dataset presents a summary of all known bird records from the two island groups. Acknowledgement is made to the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Military Sea Transport Service, who provided ship transportation for the POBSP field teams. Special acknowledgement for cooperation and assistance is extended. This data was digitised from a report published by the Smithsonian Institute as a pdf found online at https://repository.si.edu/handle/10088/6092Sampling Description
