The skuil, n. 1136, of the Museum of the College of Surgeons 
(called the Large Grampus, D. Grampus in the catalogue), is of 
most colossal size. It formed part of the Hunterian collection, 
and is probably the skull of the large specimen, 31 feet long, 
edled at Greenwich in 1793.—Banks in Lacepéde. It has teeth 
+%, very large, nearly to the notch. Intermaxillary rather dilated, Z 
broader over the front of the nose. 
Fabricius says, “ The Aid/wit has in the lower jaw 22 teeth, U 
on each side, arched, falciform, hollow internally as far as the 
point, projecting scarcely a third part (and this visible part i 
enamelled, compressed-conical, with the point sharp, curved in- 
wardly and at the same time verging a little backwards ; but 
the concealed part broader and having two parts, compressed ar 
teriorly and posteriorly, and especially on the side nearest th e 
throat, channeled); of the length of a finger, and 13 ich broad, 
the middle ones larger, the anterior and posterior smaller. Beak 
rather obtuse. Beside the pectoral fins it has a long, erect dorsal 
fin. In size it is to be considered as amongst the smaller whales. 
Skin glabrous, black; the fat thick, but little oily; flesh red.” ‘ 
—Fabricius, Faun. Gr enl. 
Of the Azdluit wonderful stories are told: the following is not 
the most extraordinary. ‘‘ Where these appear all the seals dis- 
appear, else they make desper ate slaughter among them, for tie y 
have such sagacity and skill in catching them with the mouth an 
fins, that they are sometimes seen loaded with five at a time, o 
in the mouth, a couple under each fin and one under the bae 
fin.’—Crantz, Greenland, i. 116.
