 THE FAMILY ANATIDAE
Generic subdivision carried to extremes not only places an unbearable burden on the memory of the taxonom- ist, but also completely obliterates the difference between the weak and the really distinct genera.
The differences separating Anser, lVhilacte, and Chen; Arias, Nettion, and Dafila; Aix and Dendronessa; or Somateria, Arctonetta and lVolysticta, are certainly very slight com- pared with the differences separating Anser, Cygnus, and Coscoroba; or Chlophaga, Alopochen, and Tadorna; or Arias, Malacorhynchus, Tachyeres, and Stictonetta.
Since no category above the genus can be expressed in the scientific name, the splitter has no way of making a distinction between "weak" and "good" genera.
