GEESE 
The male of the Toulouse, Embden and African varieties — the 
heavy weights of the goose family — should be broad and flat in back, with 
deep, round, full breast and long body, these features giving the bird a 
massive appearance. The head should be large, the neck of good length 
and slightly arched, and the bird well balanced in carriage. The female 
should resemble the male, except that she is somewhat less massive. 
Chinese Geese are an ornamental variety of medium size, with long, 
arched necks, carried very upright, and having a large knob at base of the 
beak. In body, they are short and upright, the general effect being novel 
and striking. 
Wild or Canadian Geese, now domesticated, are seen most frequently 
in public parks. They are of medium size, with long, arched, snake-like 
necks, and have small heads, carried well elevated, which give them a bold 
and defiant appearance. 
In Egyptian Geese the sexes are nearly alike in color, shape and gen- 
eral appearance. They are decidedly odd members of the goose family, 
being very different in most respects from the other Standard varieties of 
geese. Some writers have gone so far as to separate them from the goose 
tribe. Striking characteristics are their small size and pugnacious dis- 
position.
