What reading level is The Ocean World Being a Description of the Sea And Its Living Inhabitants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dichotoma is at once the most delicate and most elegant of the species. It presents a brownish stem, thin as a thread of silk, but strong and elastic. The polyps are numerous : upon a tree eight or nine inches high there may be as many hundreds. C. Volubilis is a minute microscopic species, living parasitically on corallines, seaweed, and shelled animals. The stem is a capillary corneous tube, which creeps and twists itself upon its support, throwing out at alternate intervals a long slender st...alk, twisted throughout or only partially, which supports a bell-shaped cup of perfect trans- parency, and prettily serrated round the brim. Dr. Johnston found the antennae of a crab so profusely infested with them as to resemble hairy brushes. It is furnished, according to Hassall, with a delicate joint or hinge at the base of each little cup a contrivance designed, it is imagined, to enable the frail zoophyte the better to elude the rude contact of the element in which it lives, by allowing it to bend to a force which it cannot resist.
