Aug. 18, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Gulls seem to be about the same on the bay as last time I wrote. Last evening a thirty or so Larus heermanni were seen, when a short distance out from the city, flying windward close to the water in a straggling flock. Larus occidentalis and Larus californicus have both been observed. A number of immature gulls, either Larus californicus or Larus delawarensis have been seen. Last night two or three Sterna forpina, or else the same bird twice, were seen under east of Goat Island. One died from a height of thirty feet or so. The flight of Larus heermanni close to the water is very much like that of Arctos stolidus. Quite a number of gulls were seen on the water last evening. On the evening of the 16th 2 acoters were noted on the water near the seawall west of 5th St. 83,
