What reading level is The Vegetation of the Yellowstone Hot Springs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the cooler springs and channels simi- lar vegetation forms the bright green, orange or brown mem- brane-like sheets, or masses of jelly without apparent vegetal struc- ture. Silken yellow filaments are found in bowls and channels of the hottest springs. Words fail to convey an adequate idea of the massive marble-like terraces, rising tier upon tier, and the exquisite coloring of their sides and the margins of the bowls filled with steaming hot water of most magnificent iridescent hues. The s...ilicious formations are similar, although not raised in ter- races so grand or imposing, simply because the formation of silicious sinter is much slower than the formation of the travertine, and because the region seems to be of later geologic age. Many of the geyser cones are bee-hive in shape, of a white adamantine-like appearance, and are, as a rule, delicately colored by pale greens and pinks of exquisite variation. The many hundreds of springs of the Upper Geyser Basin, where they are seen at their best, are generally characterized by the transparent clearness of the water, which appears of varying shades of blue and green, according to the depth and amount of light admitted.
