were two or three large flocks of sandpipers on the sand, while at the edge of the waveless sea there [illegible] gracefully and sulph-like over the water several Larus philadelphia. On the sand exposed along the mole there were several two or three hundred gulls; further back from the water I saw a Lumeneius or Limosa. In the water along the length of the mole I saw but very few ducks; the same remarks apply to ducks on the return trip this evening. This evening Larus californicus was quite common on the San Francisco side; Larus glaucescens was represented by young birds. When approaching Alameda Mole several Larus philadelphia straggled by going in a northerly direction. Close to the mole a flock of four Larus calif- or nicus and one Larus glaucescens passed flying southwest. April 10, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. Although the tide was out a long way this morning, there were only about a hundred gulls on the sand near the mole. Last night I saw about as many hers on the water. Both this morning and evening there were several ducks (Scaups and Fedemia pertpicillata) along the mole. This morn- ing I saw one large shore bird on the sand.
