64. from the mainland. Here we saw a good many Numenius hudsonicus and Nycticorax nycticorax. One Numenius hudsonicus which I shot on a bank was very fat, in fact so much so that fat oozed out through the shot holes or to the feathers. I saw a few Actodromas minutilla, a few Symphemia semipalmata, two Rallus obsoletus, one of which I got, and two Eriornithes jamaicensis, one of which I took also. These two ducks did not seem very wary, for we sailed up quite close to them. Aug. 27, 1904. San Leandro Bay, Alameda Co., Cal. Conditions:- 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 A.M. 6 bar; warm; west wind.
