What reading level is A New Zealand Naturalists Calendar And Notes By the Wayside book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They hide while the tide is low, * Hcttrograpsus sexden/atits.
132 A NEW ZEALAND NATURALIST'S CALENDAR.
because, though coloured in conformity with their sur- roundings, it is not protection they need in the water but such similarity of hue as will enable them to get near their prey without attracting notice ; but were they to move out from the shelter of some friendly stone into the open they would run the risk of being picked up by some passing gull. Against such an enemy their strong nipping... claws, which are such excellent offensive and defensive weapons, would prove of no avail.
Or perhaps we may disturb a colony of porcelain crabs* small bluish fellows with disproportionately big, angled, and flattened claws. If we take one up between the finger and thumb, gripping it by the back of the carapace, and offer another finger to its claws, it will astonish vis, small as it is. Most singular of all are rather large crabs t with feeble claws, covered on the back with tufts of hair, serpulae, and seaweeds, sometimes carrying a bunch of sertularians, a barnacle, or even a sea - anemone, to increase their resemblance to a seaweed-covered stone.
