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.
