  Goose \Goose\ (g[=oo]s), n.; pl. {Geese} (g[=e]s). [OE. gos, AS.
     g[=o]s, pl. g[=e]s; akin to D. & G. gans, Icel. g[=a]s, Dan.
     gaas, Sw. g[*a]s, Russ. guse. OIr. geiss, L. anser, for

     1. Any large web-footen bird of the subfamily {Anserin[ae]},
        and belonging to {Anser}, {Branta}, {Chen}, and several
        allied genera. See {Anseres}.
  
     Note: The common domestic goose is believed to have been
           derived from the European graylag goose ({Anser
           anser}). The bean goose ({A. segetum}), the American
           wild or Canada goose ({Branta Canadensis}), and the
           bernicle goose ({Branta leucopsis}) are well known
           species. The American white or snow geese and the blue
           goose belong to the genus {Chen}. See {Bernicle},
           {Emperor goose}, under {Emperor}, {Snow goose}, {Wild
           goose}, {Brant}.
  
     2. Any large bird of other related families, resembling the
        common goose.
  
     Note: The Egyptian or fox goose ({Alopochen [AE]gyptiaca})
           and the African spur-winged geese ({Plectropterus})
           belong to the family {Plectropterid[ae]}. The
           Australian semipalmated goose ({Anseranas semipalmata})
           and Cape Barren goose ({Cereopsis
           Nov[ae]-Hollandi[ae]}) are very different from northern
           geese, and each is made the type of a distinct family.
           Both are domesticated in Australia.
  
     3. A tailor's smoothing iron, so called from its handle,
        which resembles the neck of a goose.

  GOOSE, n.  A bird that supplies quills for writing.  These, by some
  occult process of nature, are penetrated and suffused with various
  degrees of the bird's intellectual energies and emotional character,
  so that when inked and drawn mechanically across paper by a person
  called an "author," there results a very fair and accurate transcript
  of the fowl's thought and feeling.  The difference in geese, as
  discovered by this ingenious method, is considerable:  many are found
  to have only trivial and insignificant powers, but some are seen to be
  very great geese indeed.
