Monte Santo Tomas 7340 feet 
Trinidad 4500 feet 
Military Reserve, Baguia 4891 feet# 
July 1, 1903# Went aboard IJ. S# A T. Sherman, at San Francisco at 10 A. M. 
Ship sailed at 12 M. Anchored off Black Point to take on Conant coin. Weighed 
anchor after luncheon, and passed through Golden Gate, wher Heennann ’ s and Western 
Gulls and Californica Murres were abundant; also saw quite a number of Brandt 
Cormorants; one flock of 50 Northern Phalaropes# Pilot left ship at 3:30 P. M* 
Soon after the ship was turned north and pursued a course parallel to Marin County 
California, for 50 miles, after which the course was a trifle south of west# 
California Guillemots were in small flocks, very gentle and very numerous** 
They dived whenever a wave was about to strike them# Hermann and Western Gulls 
were less numerous but common# 
July 2, 1903# High wind from the North, with heavy sea# A few Albatrosses 
followed the ship all day; no other birds seen. Whales were seen spouting# 
July 3, 1903# Whales spouting. Albatrosses were the only birds in sight# 
Two pairs followed the ship until sunset as* later, frequently alighting upon 
the water astern to feed# They were paird; and when one alighted, its mate 
usually settled near it# The quills are quite black, darker than the sooty 
body. The head, or at least the front half or more is white, and there is 
considerable white on upper and under tail coverts. The bill is blacK# This 
is the Black- footed Albatross (Diomedia nigripes)# 
July 4, 1903# I saw birds away astern, this morning, which appeared to 
be Petrels# As many as six Black-footed Albatrosses were seen at one moment# 
Some lacked the white upper and under tail-coverts, but had black bills# 
No other birds were seen#
