To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is hardly fair to speak of "the polyp" and of '' it " in this connection. " Polyps " and '' they " are more correct. For the coral-polyps live in close communities, in very near fellowship, acting on co-operative principles of the most advanced kind. Each i66 Coral Architects Individual may, it is true, have its own mouth, its own tentacles, and even its own small stomach. But the latter at least can hardly be reckoned as personal property, since all are so connected that liquids pass freely... from one to another, and the food which Is taken in by one polyp helps to nourish its neighbours. And again, while we speak of coral as being ** built, " that really is not the right word ; unless we may also talk of the ''building" of a man's skeleton, or of an elephant's framework. "Built" undeniably it is; but the building implies no conscious effort, no deliberate inten- tion, no praiseworthy exertions, on the part of the builder. Coral Is simply ''secreted" — is un- knowingly and without choice put together by the polyps.
