Abstract
Among the Pleistocene avian remains found by the California Institute of Technology in the asphalts of McKittrick are fourteen (complete and partial) tarsometatarsal elements of a goose more slender than any of the living Anserinae. Without attempting at this time to establish the identity of the form on the basis of other elements, it is here proposed to describe and record a new genus and species of goose on tarsal characters alone, the tarsus being a characteristic avian element, and in this instance well preserved, numerous and clearly generically distinct.
