of the gulls seen on the bay were too distant to be identified; however, three or four seen, looked like Larus californicus and Larus heermanni. Several young birds were seen. A Clumenius hudsonicus was seen feeding in the mud of shallow slough near 1st Street. On the evening of August 17 when at Webster Street Station, I observed three or four flocks of curlew (?) flying southward over the town. There were probably about forty in all. No gulls follow the ferry boats yet. Aug. 24, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Conditions :- Moderate temperature; overcast in morning; NW wind. Both in the morning and evening, when the tide was low, there were a great many gulls (those close looked like Larus californicus) on the sand near the round- house. They keep to the water's edge, only an occa- sional one being seen at any great distance from it. This morning they forsted an inlet of water which ran into the mud one or two hundred yards, and at the head of it was a flock of gulls.
