83. A good many Larus californicus along the mole. As I rode inside the steamer, I did not see much. Larus californicus and Larus delawarensis were both seen. San Francisco to Alameda, Cal. Conditions: - 5:15 to 6:00 P.M. Cool; overcast; west wind. Right off the waterfront I saw a Larus heermanni. Larus californicus was abundant and Larus delawarensis common on the trip across. South of Goat Island I saw a bird which appeared to be a Stercorarius. Near 7th St. Station I saw a few Euphagus cyanoccephalus. Sep. 22, 1904. San Leandro Bay, Alameda Co., Cal. Conditions: - 6:30 to 9:00 A.M. Moderate temperature; strong S wind all day; black storm clouds with occasional downpours of rain. The bay was quite rough; the tide coming in. Along the Alameda shore I saw:- Numenius hudsonicus. One. Squatarola squatarola. A few. Limosa fedoa. Symphonia sempalmata. While I was in Melrose slough two flocks of ducks, about fifteen each passed going southeast. Dales saw the following birds:- Larus delawarensis. Shot a young bird, which decoyed to a term thrown on to the mud. Another young gull was seen. I am not certain of its identity.
