In this paper are presented some of the results of field work 

 done by the writer and Mr. Luther Little, assistant curator, 

 in the inner Coast Range from Mt. St. Helena in Napa County, 

 Calif., and northward to Mt. Sanhedrin in Mendocino County. 



Leaving San Francisco on the morning of April 10, 1919, 

 we reached Mt. St. Helena Inn about 3 :00 p. m. the same day. 

 On the way to Vallejo attention was given to the gulls which 

 followed the boat. I wished to note the color of feet of the 

 immature Western Gull {Lams Occident alls) over which there 

 has been recent controversy. Very few of this species were 

 seen, but there were some stragglers still left, and among them 

 immature birds which sailed so close to the upper deck as to 

 make examination an easy matter. We found their feet to be 

 of a dingy flesh color.
