What reading level is The Under Water World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These are fished for in all the warmer seas where their flesh is highly esteemed. The " mother-o '-pearl " of the inside of their shells is used for various decorative purposes.
The Top Shells (Trochidce and Turboni- dee) introduce a feature characteristic of many univalves. This is the " oper- culum, " a usually spherical cap of horny material often reinforced with a layer of carbonate of lime and which acts as a door. This part of the mollusc may weigh several pounds and present gorgeous colo...urings. In fact, the " cat's eye ' J brooch, so popular in Victorian days, was manufactured from the oper- cula of a species inhabiting the Indo- Pacific Ocean.
The River Snails (Vivipara), abund- antly represented in the Thames, are interesting in that the young are hatched within the parent shell. The closely Molluscs 129 allied Apple Snails of tropical swamps contrive to breathe whilst buried in the mud through a long tube, the " siphon ' J seen to advantage also in the common whelk. These snails lay eggs in large clusters on weeds high above water-mark and the young, unlike those of many uni- valves, pass through no larval stage, but emerge complete replicas of their mother, provided with minute shells.
