adult birds. One immature Larus argentatus was seen. On the trip across

Route, time, and conditions the same as yesterday.
Ducks, mostly Blangula clangula, were abundant along the sea-
wall and mole in both morning and evening. Drove over on the after
deck. Larus glaucescens followed the steamer in great numbers —
very few adult birds, — with an occasional Larus californicus.
We ran across a few Larus canus or Larus brachyrhynchus.
While coming along the mole, saw a flock of about fifty Phala-
crocorax flying north-west in their wavelike manner. After the
boat left the slip more flocks were seen proceeding in a similar direction.
Off the south-east end of Goat Island we came across two large flocks
on the water, — one of a hundred gulls, the other about fifty.
There were a good many gulls on the water, principally Larus canus
or Larus brachyrhynchus. About twenty loons passed going north-
west, also a few ducks. On the San Francisco side Larus glau-
cescens and Larus canus or Larus brachyrhynchus were abundant.
A few Larus californicus were seen.
In the evening Larus glaucescens and Larus canus or Larus
brachyrhynchus were abundant; three or four Larus californicus
were seen. Seven loons were seen going south-east while we were just
off the mole. One Ardea herodias and one grebe were seen along
the mole.
