  cereopsis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Cape Barren Goose, Cereopsis novaehollandiae, is a large goose resident in southern Australia.
Cereopsis means wax-like and refers to the waxy yellow-green beak cover.
A previous decline in numbers appears to have been reversed as birds in the east at least have adapted to feeding on agricultural land.

Etymology: Cereopsis, "wax-like", from Latin cere-, "wax", and Ancient Greek opsi-, "appearance".
It may either belong into the "true geese" and swan subfamily Anserinae or into the shelduck subfamily Tadorninae as distinct tribe Cereopsini, or be separated, possibly including the prehistorically extinct flightless New Zealand Geese of the genus Cnemiornis, in a distinct subfamily Cereopsinae.
Indeed, the first bones of the New Zealand birds to be discovered were similar enough to those of the Cape Barren Goose to erroneously refer to them as "New Zealand Cape Barren Goose" ("Cereopsis" novaezeelandiae).

A previous decline in numbers appears to have been reversed as birds in the east at least have adapted to feeding onagricultural land.
Some of this species' peculiarities seem to have been still more exaggeratedin a bird that is wholly extinct, the New Zealand Cape Barren Goose, Cereopsis novaezeelandiae of New Zealand, known only from bones.
Among the first portions of this singularbird that were found were the tibia, presenting an extraordinary development of the patella.

We have next to mention a very curious form, Cereopsis novae-/zollandiae, which is peculiar to Australia, and is a more terrestrial type of goose than any other now existing.
In correlation with this loss of power may also be noted the dwindling of the keelofthesternum.
Generally, however, its osteological characters point to an affinity to Cereopsis, as was noticed by Dr Hector (Trans.

 A PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF RECENT ANSERIFORM GENERA USING MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Also, there is a sister-group relationship between Coscoroba and the "typi- cal" swans (Cygnus, Olor; 6 characters) and be- tween Cereopsis and the "typical" geese (Anser, Branta; 2 characters).
between tribes, early branches from the com- mon ancestor to the "true" geese and swans, or, for Cereopsis, an aberrant shelduck or the sole member of a separate tribe (Peters 1931; Delacour and Mayr 1945; Delacour 1954, 1964c; Johnsgard 1961a, e, 1978; Woolfenden 1961; Frith 1967; Kear and Murton 1973; Bottjer 1983).
A number of "aberrant" southern genera were sorted tentatively among these tribes: Anser- anas and Plectropterus to the Cairinini; Cereopsis, Tachyeres, and Lophonetta to the Tadornini; Stic- tonetta, Malacorhynchus, and Hymenolaimus to the Anatini; and Thalassornis to the Oxyurini.

First, most of the characters use to show similarity between Cereopsis and Cnemiornis were known before the new specimen.
If the characters were phylogenetically informative over a reasonable range, this similarity ought to have shown up in the previous study.
Second, most of the points scored against Livezey's use of character data could equally well be taken to place Cereopsis outside Anatidae, rather than placing Cnemiornis within it.

It is now possible to import a few or maybe you have too many already and wish to off load some.
A good home in a lovely garden with big natural pond offered to a pair of Coscoroba swans, also a Cereopsis goose would be much appreciated.

 II SUBFAMILY ANATINAE
The Cape Barren Goose (Cereopsis novae-hollandiae) is a peculiar bird, quite different from typical sheldrakes in many respects, in- cluding skull, bill, and color pattern of the adult.
The tarsus is reticulate and the syrinx without bullae, both characters indicating a primitive condition.
The South American Crested Duck (Lophonetta) is related to the shel- drakes, as are probably also the primitive Australian Cape Barren Goose (Cereopsis) and the South American steamer ducks (Tachyeres).

Nesting climate and behaviour of Cape Barren geese (Cereopsis novaehollandiae Latham)
Cape Barren geese (Cereopsis novaehollandiae) use a variety of nesting materials and sites that potentially create quite different environments for the eggs.
We categorised nests according to their protective cover and monitored nest temperature, cooling rate, nest humidity, solar radiation level, female incubation constancy and reproductive success on Kangaroo Island, South Australia.
