HORNED NARVAL; OR, SEA UNICORN. 
and the eye is, indeed, so exceedingly minute, 
that it -might be compleatly covered with a 
shilling. There is only one horn ; which is 
spirally twisted, but not deep, and grows nearly 
smooth towards the extremity, Vv'hich termi- 
nates in a sharp point. On the back, how- 
ever, there is somewhat of a finny appearance, 
a little serrated. 
The generical chara6ler of the Horned 
Narval, which is of the order of Cetaceous 
Fishes, is thus described—" It has two very 
long, straight, and spirally twisted teeth, which 
stick out straight forwards from the upper 
jaw. The spiracle, or breathing hole, is si- 
tuated on the anterior and upper part of the 
skull. 
The Homed Narval is the only knowai 
species of this genus. The tail is horizontally 
flattened ; but the artist has represented it in a 
perpendicular attitude, the better to display it's 
compleatfonn.
