Order 5. ANSERES. 
Fam. ANATIDZ. 
204. Chenalopex zegyptiaca (Gm.). Egyptian Goose. 
Has occasionally been observed, but is so frequently kept 
in a state of semi-domestication that it is now impossible 
to distinguish escapes from visitants. 
z05. Anser cinereus dfeyer. Grey-lag Goose. 
Casual visitant, of rare occurrence, in very small parties in 
the winter; has long ceased to breed in the Yorkshire 
carrs, where it was formerly abundant and resident. 
206. Anser segetum (G.). Bean-Goose. 
Winter visitant to the coast, but rare. Appears in late 
September or early October. Formerly immense flocks 
visited the Wolds during the day-time, returning to the 
coast at dusk.

Winter visitant, most abundant in eastern Yorkshire. The 
common wild goose of the county. 
208. Anser albifrons (Scop). White-fronted Goose. 
Casual visitant in winter, and, although decidedly uncommon, 
is most frequent in severe seasons, on the coast and its 
vicinity, and has been occasionally observed far inland. 
209. Bernicla brenta (Pad/.). Brent Goose. 
Winter visitant, common off the coast in most seasons, but 
especially so in severe ones, remaining sometimes until the 
beginning of April. Very occasional far inland, being a 
strictly marine species.

Casual visitant, of rare and irregular occurrence on the coast. 
Three were seen at Spurn at Christmas, 1876. Has been
