LAUGHING GOOSE. 
This curious bird, which was first figured 
and described by Edwards, is the Anas Albi- 
frons, of Linnsus and Gmelin ; the Anser 
Septentrionalis Sylvcstris, of Brisson ; the 
Anas Erythropus, of Muller, Kramer, and 
Browske ; the White-Fronted Goose, of Pen- 
nant and Latham ; and the Laughing Goose^ 
of Edwards, BufFon, &:c.
