September 27, 1907. Alameda to San Francisco, cal. conditions:- Another beautiful morning such as that of yesterday. In the slough near the roundhouse I saw a Numenius hudsonicus. On the beach were a great number of Gull, (Larus californicus, chiefly). There were also a few shore birds of two species, the larger being Limosa fedoa. Sev- eral sandpipers were also seen with them. In the evening September 30, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, cal. Conditions:- Clear; moderate temperature; wee- terly wind. In the forenoon and the evening the tide was high and there were no birds on the beach near the roundhouse. Among the warships SW of Goat Island there were a good many gulls; those which I saw through the window were Larus califor- nicus. In the evening at 5:10 many gulls were heard calling in front of the ferry depot.
