The Bernacles* 



Are distinguishable from the common geese by a 

 shorter, smaller bill, whose edges are not apparent 

 beyond the extremities of the laminee. 



The north of Europe sends us, in winter, the 

 species so celebrated by the fabidous story of its 

 growing on trees, like their fruit. 



* The Scotch name of Anser Leucopsis. Klake is the Scotch name for 

 goose.
