JAN - 9 1905 During the past week, golden-eyes have been abundant along the mole. They do not seem to fear the train, as not many fly as it passes.

There are few high adults. In the evenings I ride outside. I then see a few Larus cali- fornicus and many Larus canus or Larus brachyrynchus or both, JAN 11 1905 Alameda, Cal.
