FEB 13 1905 Alameda, Cal. to and from San Francisco, Cal. 7:30 A.M. to 8:30 A.M. and 5:15 P.M. to 5:40 P.M. Conditions:- Same as yesterday. Ducks were not as abundant along the mole as they were two or three days ago. I rode inside the steamer. On the San Francis- coside I saw a good many Larus glauciscens. In the evening Larus glauciscens were abundant; also Larus canus or Larus brachyrynchus. Seven loons passed to the south while we were off the mole. I saw a flock of about twen- ty cormorants in the distance. Along the mole I saw two- grebes and a good many ducks. Mr. Loomis saw several Larus occidentalis yesterday, and one bird which he took to be Larus glauciscens. He reports a few more Larus californicus than last Sunday.
