	The Bernacle Goose
		Upon the eastern and southern shores of Britain it is of rare occurrence, its place being supplied by its nearly allied congener, the Brant Goose (Anser Brenta); which again is as rarely seen upon the opposite coast of the island.
		Like the rest of the genus, the Bernicle is a very wary bird, and can only be approached by the most cautions manoeuvers.
		It is sometimes shot by moonlight, when it comes on the sands to feed, by persons couched on the ground, or from behind any occasional shelter in such places as the flocks are known to frequent.

	Bar-headed Goose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bar-headed Goose (Anser indicus) is a goose which breeds in Central Asia and migrates over the Himalayas to winter in the wetlands of India.
		The bird is easily distinguished from any of the other grey geese of the genus Anser by the character implied by its English name.
		It has sometimes been separated from the genus Anser, which has no other member indigenous to the Indian region, nor any at all to the Ethiopian, Australian, or Neotropical regions.

	Chapter 1. ORIGINS AND BREEDS OF DOMESTIC GEESE
		It is generally accepted that geese, which are of the Family Anatidae and the Genus Anser, were one of the first animals to be domesticated.
		The first are thought to have their origins in Europe, descendants of the wild Greylag goose (Anser anser) and the second are thought to have their origins in Asia, descendants of the wild Swan goose (Anser cygnoides).
		From the tropics, there is the Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) from Africa, the Nene goose (Branta sandvicensis) from the Hawaiian Islands, the Bar-headed goose (Anser Indicus) from India and central Asia, the Northern Spur-winged goose (Plectropectus gambensis) from Africa and the Semipalmated (magpie) goose (Anseranas semipalmata) from Australia and New Guinea.

		The "genus" (plural "genera") represents a taxonomic division that generally refers to a group of animals which are similar in structure and descent, but are not all able to breed among themselves.
		By contrast, the "species" represents a taxonomic division that generally refers to a group of animals which are similar in structure and descent and are able to breed among themselves.
		Once the genus and/or species have been mentioned, they are usually abbreviated in subsequent occurrences (e.g., in subsequent references the Long-billed Dowitcher's scientific name would be written "L. scolopaceus").

	I SUBFAMILY ANSERINAE
		Hybrids from crosses between species of Anser are usually fertile, and so are those between species of Branta, but hybrids from crosses between the two genera are sterile.
		The extensive breeding ranges of Anser erythropus (inland) and A. albifrons (coastal) run parallel along the north of Europe and Asia.
		The habits of the various species of Branta seem to be essentially the same as those of Anser, except that the smaller species feed to a greater extent on water plants.

		The Mallard, Anser platyrhynchos, was domesticated in China 2000 years ago and more than 10 varieties are now regularly farmed for meat and eggs.
		These various races of domestic geese are all evolved from the Eurasian Greylag Goose (Anser anser), except for Chinese geese which are descended from the Swan Goose (Anser cygnoides).

		Also nesting in the Arctic are two white species, the snow goose, C. caerulescens, and the smaller Ross's goose, C. rossii, both often placed in the genus Anser.
		The blue goose, a bluish-gray bird with a white head, was long thought to be a separate species but is now known to be a color phase of the snow goose.
		Among the true geese of the Old World, the greylag, A. Anser, is the ancestor of most breeds of domestic geese; the Chinese goose is an exception, being a heavyset descendant of the slender swan goose, A. cygnoides, of Asia.

		The blood sera of graylag (Anser anser), blue (Chen caerulescens), bar-headed (Anser indicus) and domestic Pomezhansko and Rheinische geese have been used in our work.
		Both enzymatic systems of esterases from the blue (Chen caerulescens) and bar-headed (Anser indicus) species of geese and also carboxylesterase from graylag (Anser anser) showed 1 or 2 polymorphic loci.
		The data obtained show that genetic variability is characteristic to the enzymatic system of carboxylesterase and cholinesterase in the genus Anser from the order Anseriformes.

		This is, at least, stated of all the members of the genus Bos; and most naturalists concur in the opinion, that our common fowls are derived from the blending of a plurality of species.
		Certainly, if the analogy of plants can be admitted, the fact is in so far settled; for I know many hybrid plants which of themselves yield fertile seed in abundance: the mixed produce, for example, of the Calceolaria purpurea and C plantaginea; the former a half-shrubby species, the latter herbaceous.
		Still it is reasonable to suppose that, generally speaking, such series would occur; not, however, for the mere abstract purposes of arrangement, but because there are grades in localities and modes of life.
