What reading level is Sea Mosses. a Collector's Guide And An Introduction to the Study of Marine Algae book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
RED ALGjS. 169 never did." So may we say of this Alga, "Doubtless the Hand that fashioned this graceful and brilliant plant could make a finer. But it is certain He never has, to grow on our shores, at least.'' Holding to stones and shells by a minute disk, not so big as a pin-head, with the merest thread of a stem, not a quarter of an inch long, it grows down on the sea bottom, five or six fathoms deep. From this slender thread of a stem, the wavy-edged, thin, delicate red membrane of a frond,... gradually expands to the width of three or four inches, and rises to the height of one to two feet or more, tapering to a rounded point at the top. Along the middle of the whole length of the frond, runs a fine but distinct line of deeper color, and apparently thicker substance, which not a little resembles the midrib in the leaf of terrestrial plants. The edges are full, and ruffled, or wavy, so that when put on paper they fold in "plaits," at regular intervals, deepening the color at these places, and adding another charm to the picture which the mounted plant makes.
