To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is the most elegant of the class of gulls, and particularly graceful in its flight ; its bill is of a beautiful lemon yellow ; orbits of the eye and inside of the mouth bright red ; index straw colour ; legs livid colour ; top of the head, nape, back, and wings, of a fine ash colour . Tips of the wings and coverts black ; and the rest of the bird white. This gull undergoes three altera- tions of colour: in the first stage of its life, the coverts of its wings have dark brown feathers ; in ...the second stage, similar dark brown feathers extend over its back, and the tips of its wings are also tinged with the same colour; and in the last, it derives all the character peculiar to the Larus rissa ; the vulgar name of Kitty wake is doubtless derived from the cry of the bird, which sounds exactly as if it said " Kitty's awake. " I should have observed, that I this day procured specimens of the three distinct gradations in the change of colour which I have noticed. ^^ VOYAGE TO GREENLAND.
