What reading level is An Introduction to the Osteology of the Mammalia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As in Man the postorbital process of the frontal meets the orbital process of the malar so as completely to encircle the outer side of the orbit ; and an extension backwards and inwards of these bones joining the alisphenoid divides the orbit from the temporal fossa.
The nasal bones vary much in length and breadth, but they present the peculiarity throughout the order of a great tendency to ankylose together in the middle line, even at a comparatively early age.
In all the smaller and middle-si...zed Monkeys the general surface of the calvaria is oval and smooth, but in the larger Baboons and Orangs there are well-marked supraorbital, sagittal, and occipital ridges. These attain their greatest development in the adult male Gorilla, where they com- pletely mask the original form of the cranium. Their size, in this sex, appears to increase with age ; while in the oldest females, on the other hand, they are but slightly apparent.
The paroccipital process is always rudimentary, as in Man.
The squamosal in the higher forms is developed much as in Man ; but in the lower forms it is more reduced, and takes a smaller share in the formation of the side wall of the cranium.
