while in 1907 the first fall migrants appeared at Monterey, Cal., July 

 22 (Beck), and were thus 2,000 miles south of the nesting grounds at 

 the time the earliest young were just learning to fly. In other years 

 the first appeared in August: Santa Cruz Island, Cal., August 6, 1909 

 (Wright); Monterey, Cal., August 23, 1894 (Loomis); near Los 

 Coronados Islands, Cal., August 20, 1910 (Wright); Unimak Island, 

 Alaska, August 14, 1901 (McGregor); St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, 

 August 29, 1879 (Nelson); San Quintin, Lower California, August 

 14, 1905 (Nelson and Goldman); and North Truro, Mass., August 21, 

 1889 (Miller). 



In the interior Sabine's gull has been taken at Cayuga Lake, N. Y., 

 about 1887 (Eaton) ; on the Mississippi River opposite Clark County, 

 Mo., September, 1900 (Worthen); once at Cleveland, Ohio (Winslow); 

 Ann Arbor, Mich., November 17, 1880 (Covert); Burlington, Iowa, 

 October 15, 1891, and October 12, 1894 (Bartsch); Delavan Lake, 

 Wis., October 7, 1900 (Hollister); Big Lake, near Claremore, Okla., 

 November, 1910 (Strode); Humboldt, Kans., September 21, 1876 

 (Snow); Beatrice, Nebr., September 2, 1899 (Swenk); Lincoln, Nebr., 

 near, September 30, 1899 (Carriker); Albuquerque, N. Mex., October 

 7, 1900 (Birtwell); Ogden, Utah, September 28, 1871 (Allen); Terry, 

 Mont., several, September 22-23, 1904 (Cameron); Corvallis, Oreg., 

 September 14, 1904 (Shaw); Mono Lake, Cal, September 18, 1901 

 (Fisher); and Okanogan Lake, British Columbia, September 9, 1897 

 (Brooks). It is somewhat strange that there should be about as 

 many records of Sabine's gull in Colorado as in all the rest of the 

 mterior. Most of them are between September 3 and November 17, 

 and come from the western edge of the plains from Fort Collins to 

 Denver, but one was taken September 26, 1886, in the mountains 

 near Breckenridge at 10,000 feet altitude (Carter). 



The last seen at St. Michael, Alaska, was on October 10, 1879 

 (Nelson); Point Barrow, Alaska, October 22, 1881 (Murdoch), and 

 September 17, 1897 (Stone); Kowak River, Alaska, September 5, 

 1898 (Grinnell); Sea Island, Shoalwater Bay, Wash., September 24, 

 1897 (Dawson); San Francisco Bay, Cal., October, 1SS9 (Bryant);

 ber 6, 1909 (Beck); Igloolik, Melville Peninsula, August 13, 1822 

 (Parry); Kikkerton Island, Greenland, October 6, 1877 (Knynlien) ;

 Mass., September 27, 1874 (Brewster); Gardiners Bay, Long Island, 

 October 6, 1899 (Worthington); Quebec City, Canada, about October 

 1, 1909 (Dionne); and Corpus Christi, Tex., October (Armstrong).
