Maximum diameter of the pro- toconch was denned as the straight-line distance from the protoconch-teleoconch boundary to the opposite side of the protoconch in the region of greatest width. Maximum diameter of the Protoconch I was denned as (1) the greatest. Figures 1-2. Lenticular egg capsules from Rose Garden Vent on the Galapagos Rift. Figure 1.
