The third field book by Amerson includes island observations; journal-type entries; an insect list; notes documenting bird observation, banding (514-78001 to 743-74000), marking, and collecting activities; insect observation and collection notes; and photocopies of hand-drawn maps of bird populations and vegetation on Sand Island, Johnston Atoll.
