What reading level is The Whalebone Whales of New England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
261 sometimes admit, on viewing a stranded specimen, that "there is something strange about her at that" (to a whaleman a whale is always "she" or "her").
The Greenland Eskimos call it 'Tikagulik, ' and curiously, the Alaskan Eskimos have a nearly identical term, 'Tschikagulik' for the representative of the species in Bering Strait (van Beneden, 1887).
Description.
Form. In general the outline of the body resembles that of the Finback, but the posterior portion is less attenuated, and the form ...is somewhat stouter. The snout and jaws are rather sharply pointed, though not excessively so. The dorsal fin is prominent, high and falcate. The caudal fin is like that of the other members of the genus.
The eye is exactly over the angle of the mouth. From the angle runs a groove or gutter, which is continued a short distance behind the eye and ends indefinitely. The ear is a small opening the size of a pin head between the eye and the pectoral.
Plicae. The tTiroat folds in a Provincetown specimen I examined in 1910, were, counting from the mid-line to the pectoral, twenty-six, or about fifty-two from side to side.
