The term is especially applied to the loons, family Colymbidœ (which see). There are three leading species: the great northern diver, Colymbus torquatus; the black-throated diver, C. arcticus; and the red-throated diver, C. septentrionalis. All three inhabit the northern hemisphere generally, and are noted not only for their quickness in diving, but also for the length of time they remain and the distance they traverse under water, in which they move both by swimming with the feet and by paddling with the wings. See loon. Also diving-bird.
