Parameters	a	b	Correlation coefficient (r)
SL/SPL	1.46448	0.1452	0.98
SL/BL	1.788541	0.7789	0.994
SL/AL	2.487057	0.6518	0.998
SL/AW	1.152807	0.4475	0.838
SL/WT	1.116055	2.0263	0.983
SL/SW	1.152807	0.4475	0.997

The shell length (SL), shell width (SW), spire length (SPL), base length (BL), aperture length (AL), aperture width (AW) and shell weight (WT) were analysed by taking shell length as basic index. The relationship between shell lengths and shell weight Log WT, The abreviations "a" and "b" are two constants drwan form the equation Log WT= Log a+ b Log SL
