fish to a great extent. Two or three weeks ago one I shot threw up some small ones. Very often they are seen fluttering about over the smooth water, occasionally dropping down to get a fish. Only a few ducks were seen. Oidemia deglandi was fairly common. Birds were very scarce com- pared to what they were yesterday. A few sandpipers passed by on the wing. At home I saw one warbler, a Zonotrichia leucophrys, and a great many Passer domesticus. NOV 26 1904 Alameda, Cal. to San Francisco, Cal. 7:00 A. M. to 8:00 A. M. Conditions:- Warm; a low bank of fog near the roundhouse; clear on the bay; now wind.
