On the bay a few ducks were seen flying in both northerly and southerly directions. No gulls followed the steamer until close to Goat Island, then Larus glaucescens came about in small numbers; all young save one which had blue mantle, but a spotted neck. Only two or three Larus californicus were seen, and they near the city. There were a good many immature Larus glauces- cens sitting about on the piles at the ferry dept. in San Francisco.
