Excerpt from Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College, in Cambridge, 1961, Vol. 125 The straight-hinge larva of the sea scallop is similar to that of other lamellibranchs. It has a wide hinge-line, is relatively long in proportion to its height, and is almost equally rounded at both ends (pi. The two valves are hinged dorsally, the mar gins meeting ventrally and laterally. The minuteness of the shell, its transparency, and lack of structure leave few characters of importance to aid in identification at this early stage. Both valves are similar in size, shape, and curvature. They are fairly flat, and lack color. The hinge-line is usually straight, but in occasional specimens, it curves inward slightly. The size ranges from 60 to 80 microns in height and 80 to 115 microns in length in 7 -day-old laboratory-reared specimens.
