To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is, it is true, the Ligurian, or yellow Alp-bee, which is a mountain insect, and thrives in some of the southern cantons of Switzerland up to a height of 4,500 feet ; but still, the higher one goes the fewer bees there are of any kind; and though there are many beetles and flies, and very many moths and butterflies, there are, on the whole, fewer insects of all kinds in these higher regions ; and in the highest, bees are almost entirely absent. Yet the flowers of the high Alps are so inte...nsely bright in colour that it is pretty certain they must be visited by insects of some sort ; and, besides being of such vivid colours, the flowers here are made still more striking by being massed together in large beds, instead of bein^. scfittered ber§ aod there, For the few§r the 228 Guests Welcome and Unwelcome insects, the more needful it is to economize their time and labour, and to avoid the risk, which solitary plants would run, of being overlooked altogether. Here, as elsewhere, ' union is strength '; and the butterfly must be blind indeed which could fail to notice these masses of brilliant colour.
