Excerpt from The New American Cyclopedia, Vol. 3: A Popular Dictionary of General Knowledge; Beam-Browning
Bean goose (anas scgslum), a variety of the common European wild goose, neither of the species being known to America. Some persons have believed the bean goose to be the origin of the common domestic goose; but that distinction is generally assigned to the gray lag goose, or common wild goose, which closely resembles the ordinary domestic fowl, except that the gandcrs are plain gray, like the geese, which, in the wild birds, are never pied; the white mottling being the effect of domestica tion.
