To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
PACHYDERMATA. 189 These huge creatures seem to possess the charac- teristics of their Order in the highest degree, espe- cially that which confers its name ; for the skin is enormously thick and hard, destitute of hair, and, in the one-horned division, arranged in deep doubl- ings or folds around the neck, shoulders, and thighs. The two-horned species, especially those of Africa, are almost wholly free from these folds ; these appear to manifest a malevolence and ferocity to which the Eastern k...inds are strangers. The upper lip is elon- gated into a protrusive and prehensile muzzle, used to collect the branches and twigs of trees ; but one species (R. Simus), which feeds only on grass, wants this protrusion, the muzzle being flat, like that of an ox. The horns are formidable weapons, not from their sharpness, but from the resistless impetus of the enraged animal : it is said that the animal has the power of moving one or both, and of making them clatter by striking each other ; but this, though not impossible, seems to want confirmation.
