Results of a Gale at Pacific Beach

During a heavy gale that lasted for several days in the latter part of November, 1905, Mr. H. W. Marsden found a number of rhinoceros auklets (Cerorhinca monocerata), Pacific fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis glupischa), and dark-bodied shearwaters (Puffinus griseus) dead or dying along the shore at Pacific Beach, San Diego County, Cal. His most interesting capture there was a young female mew gull (Larus canus) on Nov. 30, which is now No. 14829 of my collection.
