What reading level is A Geographical History of Mammals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the evidence accordingly points to the great immigration having taken place along the eastern side of the continent ; and the existence of certain species of mammals which are either still common to India and Africa, or which were so during the Plistocene epoch, lends support to this view. Further testimony in this direction is afforded by the occurrence of closely- allied generic types in the Ethiopian and Oriental regions. Among the lemuroids, for instance, the Oriental lorises {Nycti- ce...bus and Loris) are replaced in Western Africa by the potto and awantibo {Perodicticus) ; while in the Viverridm the true linsangs {Linsanga) of the eastern half of the Oriental region are repre- sented in Fernando Po by the aUied Foiana, and the Oriental palm-civets {Faradoxurus) have very close allies in the two species of the Ethiopian genus Nandinia. A less marked instance is afforded by the occurrence of the water-chevrotain {Dorcatherium) in West Africa and of the true chevrotains in southern India and the eastern half of the Oriental region.
