Mrs. Loomis observed the following birds while crossing on the "Key Route Ferry":- Larus glaucescens. Abundant. Larus californicus. A few. Larus occidentalis. Two. Larus canus Larus brachyrynchus } Abundant off Goat Island. Fulmarus glacialis. One rather light colored individual.

On the San Francisco side a flock of about fifty Larus canus or Larus brachyrynchus flew away from in front of the slip as the steamer drew near. Larus californicus, a few; Larus argentatus, 2 immature specimens. In the evening Larus canus or Larus brachyrynchus were fairly swarming about the slip.
