To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The destruction, as a rule, begins on the surface of the protoplasm, and consists very often in the formation and falling off of small granules or droplets. This process gradually continues from the periphery toward the center until the whole egg is disintegrated. For different salt solutions the picture of the disintegration is a little different, but sufficiently characteristic for a given solution, so that if one become familiar with these pictures, one is able to diagnose to some extent the... nature of the solution from the way in which the cell disintegrates. This process of disintegration can be observed if the eggs are put into a pure solution of sodium chloride, or ia a mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride, or in a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride. If, however, all three salts are used in the proportion in which they occur in the sea-water no disintegration takes place and the surface of the egg remains perfectly smooth and normal. One gains the impression as if the protoplasm of the egg were held together by a continuous surface film of a definite texture.
