and belonging to Anser, Branta, Chen, and several

derived from the European graylag goose ({Anser
anser}). The bean goose (A. segetum), the American
wild or Canada goose (Branta Canadensis), and the
bernicle goose (Branta leucopsis) are well known
species. The American white or snow geese and the blue
goose belong to the genus Chen. See Bernicle,

semipalmated goose (Anseranas semipalmata) and Cape
Barren goose (Cereopsis Nov[ae]-Hollandi[ae]) are
very different from northern geese, and each is made
the type of a distinct family. Both are domesticated in
Australia.

goose (devil) | GOOSE, n. A bird that supplies quills for writing. These, by some
occult process of nature, are penetrated and suffused with various
degrees of the bird's intellectual energies and emotional character,
so that when inked and drawn mechanically across paper by a person
called an "author," there results a very fair and accurate transcript
of the fowl's thought and feeling. The difference in geese, as
discovered by this ingenious method, is considerable: many are found
to have only trivial and insignificant powers, but some are seen to be
very great geese indeed.
