  Swan \Swan\, n. [AS. swan; akin to D. zwaan, OHG. swan, G.
     schwan, Icel. svanr, Sw. svan, Dan. svane; and perhaps to E.
     sound something audible.]
     1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of numerous species of large aquatic
        birds belonging to {Cygnus}, {Olor}, and allied genera of
        the subfamily {Cygnin[ae]}. 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.
  
     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 ({O.
           Columbianus}), and the trumpeter swan ({O.
           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.
  
     2. Fig.: An appellation for a sweet singer, or a poet noted
        for grace and melody; as Shakespeare is called the swan of
        Avon.
  
     3. (Astron.) The constellation Cygnus.
  
     {Swan goose} (Zo["o]l.), a bird of India ({Cygnopsis
        cygnoides}) resembling both the swan and the goose.
  
     {Swan shot}, a large size of shot used in fowling.
