To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The Egyptians have nicknamed it the River Camel, because it can imbibe at once more than twenty pints of water. Certainly it only makes two meals a day ; but, oh, what meals they are I Pelicans often travel in considerable flocks, visiting the mouths of rivers or favourite retreats on the sea-coast. When they have made choice of a suitable fishing-place, they arrange themselves in a wide circle, and begin to beat the water with extended wing, so as to drive the fish before them, gradually dimin...ishing the circle as they ap- proach the shore or some inlet on the coast. In this manner they get all the fish together into a small space, when the common feast begins. After gorging themselves, they retire to the shore, where the process of digestion follows. Some rest with the neck over the back ; others busily dress and smoothe their plumage, waiting pa- tiently until returning appetite invites them to fresh exertions. When thus quiescent, occasionally one of these birds empties his well-lined pouch, and spreads in front of him all the fish that it contains, in order to feed upon them at leisure.
