What reading level is The Caribou book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are indebted to Mr. A. P. Low, the Canadian explorer, for most of the knowledge we possess of the interior of the Peninsula of Labrador, which includes one of the largest unex- plored areas on the globe. Mr. Low states that there are three distinct herds of Barren Ground Caribou on the barren and semi-barren lands of the peninsula. These herds frequent the coast of Hudson Straits, Ungava'Bay, and the Atlantic coast as far south as Hamilton Inlet. On the Hudson Bay coast they are found only a...t present in small numbers to the north of Whale River, about the 54th parallel, and are being rapidly extermi- nated by the Indians. It is probable that the Barren Ground Caribou of Labrador occupy at times the same area in the interior as the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer caribou).
An interesting question here arises as to whether the caribou of northern Labrador and those of Baffin Land are identical, and as to the possibility of crossing Hudson Straits, which lie be- tween. Inasmuch as the Straits of Belle Isle appear to interpose a barrier sufficient to prevent the intermingling of the New- foundland and mainland species, and as Hudson Straits are very much wider, and the probability of an ice bridge far more remote, it would seem that the two groups have been separated for a » long period of time.
