Sailing the schooner Terrapin as guest of an American collector, Kloss visits Barren Island, Port Blair, Rutland Island, Little Andaman and the Nicobars from Kar Nicobar to Kamorta, trapping small mammals and gathering birds and ethnological objects for the National Museum in Washington. Sixteen new mammals and ten new birds came of the voyage, alongside close observation of island peoples and the convict settlement.
