the roundhouse. In the morning I saw three or four Larus californicus flying eastward over Alameda. Also saw three or four of this species flying eastward along the mole, and one on the water. One or two Aechmophorus occidentalis were seen. Mar. 9, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Conditions: - Warm; clear; no wind to speak of. Birds about the same the past two days:- The usual ducks and gulls were seen; Larus graceae seems to be becoming scarcer on the bay. This morning I saw a Colymbus septentrionalis within a foot or two of the rocks of the mole; it did not dive as the train passed. Yesterday I saw one Mottion carolinensis and two Quercuscedula discors (a male and a female) asleep on a rock on the shore of Alford Lake at the Haight Street entrance of Golden Gate Park. In the same pond were several Tix galericulata, on Stow Lake in the park. I saw the following California birds, all excessively tame, the first species coming within a foot or two to pick up bread thrown on the water:- Branta Canadensis, Anser albifrons, Chen hyperborea (one only), Anas boschas, Mareca americana (one only), Fuligula marila, Fuligula affinis.
