EGYPTIAN GOOSE. 
Anseu Egyptiacus. 
PLATE CX. FIG. I. 
The Egyptian and Canada Geese have been killed so 
many times in this country, that though they may now 
become less frequent every year, we cannot omit them 
from the list of British birds. We cannot suppose fairly 
that all those which have been seen are semi-domesticated 
birds—certainly not, when as it is stated with regard to 
the Canada goose, they have been seen in a large flock. 
The Egyptian Goose has bred in the gardens of the 
Regent's Park, as well as in those of the Bristol Zoologi- 
cal Society. The figure is from an egg thus laid in con¬ 
finement.
