Diver
one of a family of birds, remarkable for their power and habit of diving. The neck is long, the tail is very short and rounded; the wings short; the bill straight, strong, and pointed. They are confined to N. tudes, whence they migrate further S. in the winter season. The largest of the three European species is the great northern diver, but the other two-the red-throated diver, and the blackthroated diver-are perhaps better known, as they are found in abundance in this country. They live on fish, which they follow under the water, propelling themselves along with their wings as well as their feet.
DIVES (rich), the name popularly adopted for the "rich man" in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, from the Vulgate translation.
