What reading level is Shells of the British Isles Land And Freshwater With Illustrations of All the book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shell conical, globose, thin, scarcely semitransparent, of a dull aspect, brownish horn-colour ; epidermis raised in the line of growth into numerous thin plaits or ridges, which in the centre of the whorls are produced into spinous points, the inter- mediate furrows are microscopically striate transversely ; epi- dermis thick ; whorls 4-4. 5, convex, gradually increasing ; peri- phery faintly keeled ; apex obtuse ; mouth nearly semicircular ; outer lip with an internal white rib, somewhat refl...ected ; umbi- licus rather small.
Inhabits woods and hedgerows in moss and under fallen leaves in most parts of Great Britain. Gwyn Jeffreys says he has observed it feeding on Junger- mannia platyphylla (flat-leaved Jungermannia). I do not think, however, that it feeds exclusively upon that plant, for I have found it much more frequently on the fallen leaves of trees, particularly those of the beech and holly. It is less shy than H. Lamellata, and like that species carries its shell erect, but its movements are more graceful.
