What reading level is Forster's Animals of Hudson's Bay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Albany Fort 1 and 2.
This bird answers the descriptions given of it by the ornithologists in all respe6ts, and perfectly resembles the figure in Brisson, and in the Planches enlumin^es. It differs from Ed- wards's ruffed heathcock, t. 248. or Lin- neus's Tetrao umbellus, as the latter has not the shining black axillar feathers, or shoulder-knot, but a ferruginous one, is much less, and has brighter colours. M. de Buf- fon, however, thinks they are the same, and suspe6ls at the same time, that t...he bird which he calls la grosse Gelinotte du Canada (and which is the same with the Society's specimens) is the female of Mr. Edwards's bird, t. 248. This conje6lure is destroyed by the specimens now sent from Hudson's Bay, which by the accounts from thence are expressly said to be males. The shoulder- knot grouses bear the Indian name of Puskee, or Puspuskee, at Hudson's Bay, on account of the leanness and dryness of their flesh, which is extremely white, and of a very close texture, but when well prepared is excellent eating.
