What reading level is Shells of Land And Water a Familiar Introduction to the Study of the Mollusks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The earth- worm tries to escape by retreating into its underground galleries; but this is of no avail, because the mollusk has a long, narrow body, and can go wherever the worm does. If the worm, perchance, has the opportunity of retreating far into its galleries, the mollusk will dig tunnels to intercept it. Frequently the mollusk will make a sudden spring upon its victim, taking it by surprise. This slug-like animal will frequently devour a snail much larger than itself; but if the vic- tim i...s too large, it will be broken in the middle, and one-half eaten and digested, and then the meal completed with the other half.
" The Testacetta also resembles the tiger and the shark in the posses- sion of long, fang-like teeth upon the radula. These teeth are recurved, and aid the mollusk in getting a firm hold upon its victim, and also assist in the operation of swallowing. It is a curious fact that this animal will not feed upon dead animals, nor upon fresh meat, or freshly killed worms. Like the snake, which it greatly resembles in some respects, it must hunt and kill its own food.
