To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The huge long- limbed crab of the Japanese seas, and the cocoanut crab 228 MOSTLY MAMMALS (which is but a marine creature that has taken to a ter- restrial existence) of the islands of the Indian Ocean, are likewise probably the giants of their kind. At no epoch of the earth's history have we any record of an animal approaching in size the blue rorqual, with its length of between eighty and ninety feet, and its weight of, probably, at least as many tons. The sperm-whale and the Green- land righ...t-whale were, at the time of their abundance, certainly the largest of their respective kinds; while the basking-shark has probably been unequalled in bulk by any of its predecessors. The great white shark of the present day is indeed considerably inferior in size to its cousins whose teeth now strew the floor of the Pacific ; but these latter lived at no very distant period, and may possibly still survive. Walruses were never larger than they are at the present day, and the dugongs and manatis of the seas of our own days were fully as large as any of their ancestors of which we have ken ; while the north- em sea-cow of Bering Sea — exterminated only a century and a half ago — was in this respect far ahead of all other competitors.
