swan, G. schwan, Icel. svanr, Sw. svan, Dan. svane; and

1. (Zool.) Any one of numerous species of large aquatic birds
belonging to Cygnus, Olor, and allied genera of the
subfamily Cygninae. They have a large and strong beak
and a long neck, and are noted for their graceful
movements when swimming. Most of the northern species are
white. In literature the swan was fabled to sing a
melodious song, especially at the time of its death.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The European white, or mute, swan (Cygnus gibbus),
which is most commonly domesticated, bends its neck in
an S-shaped curve. The whistling, or trumpeting, swans
of the genus Olor do not bend the neck in an S-shaped
curve, and are noted for their loud and sonorous cry,
due to complex convolutions of the windpipe. To this
genus belong the European whooper, or whistling swan
(Olor cygnus), the American whistling swan ({Olor
Columbianus}), and the trumpeter swan ({Olor
buccinator}). The Australian black swan ({Chenopis
atrata}) is dull black with white on the wings, and has
the bill carmine, crossed with a white band. It is a
very graceful species and is often domesticated. The
South American black-necked swan ({Sthenelides
melancorypha}) is a very beautiful and graceful
species, entirely white, except the head and neck,
which are dark velvety seal-brown. Its bill has a
double bright rose-colored knob.

(foldoc) | Columbia AppleTalk Package
(CAP) An implementation of Apple Computer's
AppleTalk protocols for Unix 4.2BSD and its

Ethertalk (possibly using UAB).
CAP supports the following AppleTalk protocols: {AppleTalk
Transaction Protocol} (ATP), Name Binding Protocol (NBP),
Printer Access Protocol (PAP), AppleTalk Session Protocol
(ASP), AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) client side. In
addition, the Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP) and {Zone
Information Protocol} (ZIP) are partially available. The
structure of the Internet Appletalk Bridge software makes it
impossible to provide full DDP service. Only the Get Zone
List ATP ZIP command is implemented for ZIP.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
(bouvier) | DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The name of a district of country, ten miles square,
situate between the states of Maryland and Virginia, over which the national
government has exclusive jurisdiction. By the constitution, congress may "
exercise exclusive jurisdiction in all cases whatsoever, over such district,
not exceeding ten miles square, as may, by, cession of particular states,
and the acceptance of congress, become the seat of government of the United
States." In pursuance of this authority, the states of Maryland and
Virginia, ceded to the United States, a small territory on the banks of the
Potomac, and congress, by the Act of July 16, 1790, accepted the same for
the permanent seat of the government of the United States. The act provides
for the removal of the seat of government from the city of Philadelphia to
the District of Columbia, on the first Monday of December, 1800. It is also
provided, that the laws of the state, within such district, shall not be
affected by the acceptance, until the time fixed for the removal of the
government thereto, and until congress shall otherwise by law provide.
2. It seems that the District of Columbia, and the territorial
districts of the United States, are not states within the meaning of the
constitution, and of the judiciary act, so as to enable a citizen thereof to
sue a citizen of one of the states in the federal courts. 2 Cranch, 445; 1
Wheat, 91.
3. By the Act of July 11, 1846, congress retroceded the county of
Alexandria, part of the District of Columbia, to the state of Virginia.
