Winston,

Thank you very much for the information.  I recently obtained a
beautiful "live" collected specimen, which is fully mature and only
12.4mm.  Now, regarding that deal with the "0" and the "3", that is not
limited to those of us who are seasoned collectors.  It also happens to
us pre-50 year olds. :-)
