 and S. raninus, including recognition features, size, 

 geographical range, habitat and depth range, economic 

 importance, synonyms, and comparisons to other spe- 

 cies. Each species is figured, although the figures of S.

 Caribbean reef systems. Paper 17, 1 p. 



Ecological differences between Strombus colonies in 

 Grenada and Trinidad briefly discussed. Colonies are 

 found deeper in Grenada, where water temperature is 

 higher and light penetration is greater than in the 

 continental-type waters of Trinidad. Caution in interpre- 

 tation of paleoecological evidence is urged.
