What reading level is Shells And Their Inmates book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, too, at any other season, while the snail is in full vigour, it be surrounded, for the sake of experiment, with a freezing mixture, it will immediately set about constructing a covering for its protection from cold ; and with such diligence does it work, that in the course of an hour or two it will have finished its task, and a complete epiphragma will be formed. On the genial warmth of spring penetrating its abode, the snail prepares to emerge from its prison, by se- creting a small quanti...ty of a mucous fluid, which loosens the adhesion, and the defence is thrown off by the pressure of its foot. On every occasion when another covering is required, this process of construc- tion has to be renewed. By means of it snails and other creatures may be preserved for months, and even years, in a torpid but living state, ready to be restored to their most active functions when sufficient warmth is applied.
The argonaut, nautilus, and creatures of like habits, require shells as light as may consist with the requisite strength ; and, consequently, the relative specific gravity COLOURS OF SHELLS.
