This dataset comes from a series of collections made by Albert H. Banner in 1954 made under the auspices of the Bernice P. Bishop Museum. In 1954 the senior author received a travel grant from the Bernice P. Bishop Museum and Yale University that permitted him to collect alpheids from wide areas in the central Pacific. The grant was made as part of the tri-institution program (TRIPP) of those two institutions and the University of Hawaii for the increase of scientific knowledge of the Pacific; it deals with those shrimps collected in the Phoenix and Line Islands.While collecting under the grant the Phoenix and Line Islands were visited. In each group of islands the marine environment was sampled as thoroughly as possible with windward and lee reefs, lagoon, and ocean habitats being examined. Wherever possible a rough transect was taken across the reef to the depths that could be reached by effective skin diving. Often, however, difficulties in transportation interfered with the collecting scheme. Moreover, strong winds and surf at times rendered collecting on the outer side of the ocean reef too dangerous. This occurred, for example, at Kantonin the Phoenix Archipelago.
