Larus glaucescens (mostly immature) with several adult & immature Larus californicus followed the steamer. On the San Francisco side there were numbers of Larus glaucescens on the piles. A few Larus canus or Larus brachyryn- chus were seen in front of the Ferry Bldg., also a young Larus californicus in very dark plumage. When returning home this evening about 5:15 P.M., a few immature Larus glaucescens flew about the bow of the steamer. When south of Goat Island a couple of ducks flew over to the northward high in the air; they appeared to be Scamp Ducks. Jan. 12, 1908, Alameda, Cal. conditions:- Overcast; warm; rained during the night; nowind. When on Park Street near Central Avenue I saw a few gulls flying over the town from the southeast. They were quite high in the air. On Central Avenue east of Versailles I saw two flocks of Euphagus cy- anocephalus of about twenty each on the telegraph wires. Three Astragalinus were seen at a tree close to the sidewalk. Several Anthus pensilvanicus at beach. During the past three or fours days gulls have been noted flying over San Francisco toward the ocean. Two were observed flying eastward, one in the morning, the other in the early afternoon. I saw a few sandpipers a day or two ago in a slough near the roundhouse.
