The weather still remains pleasant, although the wind has been rather northerly and the tem- perature warm. The chief ducks on the water along the mole this morning were Scamp ducks. Larus califor- nicus are fairly common on the sand ex- posed near the roundhouse. On the bay this morning and on the piles on the San Francisco side were a few- immature Larus glaucescens.
