What reading level is Contributions to Geology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* Mineral Conch. T Terrains du Vicentin, p. 72.
u 154 CONTRIBUTIONS More recently the same author has described six new species from the Tertiary of Maryland and Virginia. * GENUS PYRULA. Lamarck.
P. Cancellata. Plate 5. Fig. 160.
Description. Shell subpyriform, beautifully cancellate over the whole exterior ; substance of the shell thick ; spire rather elevated, pointed ; suture small, slightly thickened above ; whorls six, angular above ; canal rather short and wide ; mouth subovate, rather c...ontracted ; outer lip thickened, with the edge bevelled.
Length 1. 4, Breadth . 7, of an inch.
Observations. Unfortunately but a single specimen of this truly beautiful shell has come into my possession. It is perfect and presents very remarkable decussating striae, which are so regularly placed as to present the ap pearance of meshes, the point of section being enlarged. This enlargement causes the angle of the whorls to be somewhat granulate. It seems from Sowerby s figuref to resemble pretty closely the Pyrula nexilis\ (Lamarck), (Murex nexilis of Brander).
