What reading level is The Royal Natural History volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The typical urial of the Punjab stands about 2 feet 8 inches in height at the shoulder, but the Ladak variety is rather taller, its height being as much as 3 feet, or even, it is said, rather more. The horns are strongly wrinkled, and have their lateral surfaces not much broader than the front one ; while their outer front angle is much more rounded off than in the argali. The two horns rise very close together, and curve round in a regular circular sweep, sometimes keeping almost entirely in t...he same plane, but at others forming a spiral; their curve very seldom exceeding one complete circle. In the ewes the horns are very short, and nearly straight. The average length of the horns of the rams varies from 24 to 30 inches along the curve, with a basal girth of about 10 inches ; but Mr. Blanford states that a specimen has been obtained in which the length of the horns was upwards of 37f inches, and their basal girth 11 J inches. In the sha or Ladak variety the horns are generally thicker at the base than in the true urial, their basal girth in some instances varying between 11 and 12 inches, whereas in the latter it does not exceed 10 inches ; the horns frequently, moreover, form a wider circle, and their outer front edge is still more rounded off.
