Considered herein is a geometric investigation on the higher-order b-family equation describing exponential curves of the manifold of smooth orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the unit circle in the plane. It is shown that the higher-order $b-$family equation can only be realized as an Euler equation on the Lie group Diff$(\mathbb{S}^1) $ of all smooth and orientation preserving diffeomorphisms on the circle if the parameter $b=2$ which corresponds to the higher-order Camassa-Holm equation with the metric $H^k, k\ge 1. $
Keywords: Euler equation, Camassa-Holm equation, b-family equation, diffeomorphisms group of the circle..
