Along the seawall this morning there were several (Oedemia perspicillata, the males being very conspicuous. Along the mole I saw a flock of nine Aristonetta valisneria, ap- parently all females, they were bunched close together on the water. There were a number of Scaups and Scoters along the mole both this morning and this evening. This evening there were a good number of gulls on the sand exposed along the mole. This evening I noticed a few immature Larus glancecens on the piles and flying about near the Ferry Building. Adult Larus californicus were the gulls most the evidence.

This morning when feeding the geese I saw several cormorants pass over flying in a south- westerly direction. April 23, 1909.
