Paula,
Please add me to the list of people needing forms. Perhaps you could just
put a down-loadable form on the website to save yourself the trouble?
Thank you,
Lynn

Hi Paula,
I gather from the e-mails between you and Lindsey that, as I too would
like to order Bull of Am. Paleo. no. 376, I need to have you send me a
proforma invoice to pay on, with member discount, one copy, Please.
Thank you,
LouElla

Hi Lindsey -
Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to give member discounts in the
online ordering system - a glitch that's still on our list of things to
fix. I can send you a proforma invoice to pay on, with your member
discount. One copy?

Paleontological Research Institution is proud to announce publication of a
new issue in Bulletins of American Paleontology.
Neogene Paleontology of the Northern Dominican Republic. 23. Strombid
Gastropods (Genera Strombus and Lobatus; Mollusca: Gastropoda: Strombidae)
of the Cibao Valley, by James Robert Freiheit and Dana H. Geary, Bulletins
of American Paleontology no. 376 (56 pp., 9 pls., ISBN 978-0-87710-486-5,
softcover), US $40.00, available after 5 May 2009.
Abstract. Gastropods of the family Strombidae are well-known and important
constituents of modern tropical marine communities. The biology of several
modern species has been thoroughly investigated due to their economic
value as a human food resource. Unlike many gastropods, strombids undergo
pseudo-determinate growth; they therefore present intriguing possibilities
for investigation of size-related patterns of change. Unfortunately, they
also display a wide degree of intraspecific morphologic variation, making
reliable determination of species identity difficult. In this paper, we
examine members of this family from the late Miocene and early Pliocene
deposits of the Cibao Valley, located in the northwestern portion of the
Dominican Republic on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. After brief
descriptions of the general geologic setting of the Cibao Valley and the
biology of modern strombids, we delineate the observed geographic and
stratigraphic ranges for species of Strombus and Lobatus in the Cibao
Valley. At least 11 species of strombids have been reported from the
Dominican Republic. Based on the high degree of intraspecific morphologic
variation common in these genera and upon examination of individual
specimens, we synonomize several older names and recognize only five
species in two genera from the Cibao sequence: S. bifrons, S. proximus, L.
haitensis, L. galliformis, and L. dominator. We describe some aspects of
strombid paleoecology and summarize spatiotemporal patterns of
distribution. Differences exist between modern strombid populations and
our collections of Miocene Dominican ones; strombids of the Cibao Valley
are in general smaller and appear to have occupied somewhat different
habitats than those of their modern relatives.
Publication is imminent and we are now accepting pre-publication orders.
