To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some occupy only a small island or district ; others, a narrow belt on the side of a mountain : most do not extend their limits beyond a few degrees of latitude, while a few are migratory, and spend the summer in the temperate zone, but return to the tropical regions for the winter. Their food consists of honey and insects ; and, consequently, they must live where flowers grow and insects abound.
3. The Indians gave to these interesting little creatures fanciful names that expressed the idea of... sunbeams, sun- angels, sun-gems, tresses of the day-star, murmuring-birds, and the like. And naturalists have given to them names equally fanciful, expressing the same or similar ideas, such as brilliant birds, light-bearers, sun-seekers, flower-kissers, honey-suckers, living meteors, and many others of similar meaning. They derive their common name from the buz- zing or humming sound which they make with their wings.
These vibrate so quickly as to be visible only as a semicir- cular film on each side of the body.
