FIGURE 2. — Ovary of Geryon quinquedens in very early development stage. A. 25 x . Fibrous connective tissue (f) 

 predominates. Germinal strand (g) and lumen (1) precursors are present. B. Enlargement (400x) of germinal 

 strand region showing columnar cells. 



FIGURE 3.— Ovary of Geryon quinquedens in early development stage. A. 25 x . Ova in various stages of development are shown radiating 

 from germinal zone (g). Fibrous connective tissue (f ) evident. B. High magnification (400x ) emphasizing vacuolar nucleate cells in early 

 stages of oogenesis. C. Follicular development (125x) in early stage ovary. Yolk granules evident in larger ova. D. High magnification 

 (400x ) showing yolk granular consistency of cytoplasm in developing ova.
