What reading level is Studies in Animal Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From fish to man STUDIES IN ANIMAL LIFE. 77 one common plan of structure prevails, and the presence of a backbone is the index by which to recognize this plan.
The Triton has been wriggling grotesquely in our grasp while we have made him our text, and, now he is restored to his vase, plunges to the bot- tom with great satisfaction at his escape. This wa- ter-snail, crawling slowly up the side' of the vase, and cleaning it of the green growth of microscopic plants, which he devours, shall be our... representa- tive of the second great division — the MoLLUSCA.
I can not suggest any obvious character so distinct- ive as a backbone by which the word moUusk may at once call up an idea of the type which prevails in the group. It won't do to say " shellfish," be- cause many mollusks have no shells, and many ani- mals which have shells are not mollusks. The name was originally bestowed on account of the softness of the animals. But they are not softer than worms, and much less so than jellyfish.
