Hooper, 1937 Druxness, 100 ft., Marin Co., Calif. Mar. 28, when the trap was set, at the head of Tomales Bay at mouth of Olmos Cr. more gulls were seen feeding on ground flooded to a depth of about 2 in. Among the smaller Calif. and ring-billed gulls was one glaucus or glaucus-winged gull. It was much larger than the others, had a large bill (black, except perhaps for basal half or third); feet and legs not seen; plumage entirely white except for slight washing of rusky over breast and lining of wing. Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. after putting up specimens we packed all belongings in the car and started for Berkeley (N.P.D.) at 3 mi. NE of Trout farm [see U.S. G. S. sheet, ed. 1918] near head of Tomales Bay² found a deer by the side of the highway – it evidently had been hit by a car; wasa or, without antlers. Noted another kingfisher near the Trout farm. Drove down Olmos Valley to Bolinas, then took road up over Bolinas Ridge by Lagunitas and Phoenix Lakes to Fairfax, thence down main hwy. to San Rafael and ferry. Reached Berkeley at about 5:30 P.M.
