Soft cover. Condition: Good. 43pp, well illustrated with photographs and drawings, printed pictorial wraps, stapled at spine as issued, light general wear, very minor foxing starting at covers, contents clean and bright. Reprinted from The Hawaiian Planters' Record, 1941, as noted at cover. From the Preface, "The establishment of an airport at Midway Islands by the Pan American Airway Company in 1935 has resulted in making this American possession popular with large numbers of people who have since stopped there en route to or from the Far East. An account is given of the geographical position, geology and modern history of the region, together with a descriptive narrative of the fascinating habits of the many birds that spend part or all of their time on the islands. The author has studied and strange and interesting habits of the sea birds of Midway almost continuously for 6 years and has given an accurate picture of their various life histories." Very scarce.
