What reading level is A History of British Fishes volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Brit. An. P. 200, sp. 111.
, , Le Leptocephale, CUVIER, Regne An. T. Ii. P. 358.
Generic Characters. Head small and short ; teeth numerous ; pectoral fins and gill-opening very small ; body compressed and very thin, tape-like ; dorsal and anal fins small, united at the tail, forming a point.
THIS species was discovered in the sea near Holyhead by Mr. William Morris, who sent the specimen to Pennant, by whom it was named after his friend. Pennant subsequently sent the same specimen to Gronovius,... who described it under the generic name of Leptocephalus, in reference to the small size of the head.
Any doubts which might formerly have been raised as to the real existence of such a species, to which Colonel Montagu has alluded, must have ceased to exist, as this fish has now been taken and recognised in various localities. Pennant in his first description, perhaps from the state of his specimen, was not aware of all the characters this delicate fish possesses; but Colonel Montagu has well described and given a figure 312 MUR.
