In Table I species, or populations from different localities, are listed alpha- betically in three groups: all specimens above the dashed line in Figure 1 ; some above and some below; all specimens below the line. Of course, the more speci- mens of a species that are tested, the more likely it is that one or two specimens will stray above or below the line. Figure 2 attempts to demonstrate that this effect is unimportant. Each species is represented by its median value for load and median value for mass. The position of the species medians in relation to the line is seen to accord very well with the proportion of specimens falling above and below the line. From now on we shall call species all of whose shells fall above the line "strong, " those that fall below "weak, " and those that have specimens above and below "intermediate." This is for convenience only, and of course implies no hard and fast distinctions among species in the different categories. All the strong species are tropical. Of the weak species, four are temperate, one is tropical, and one comes from Dakar, which might be considered as temperate. Of the intermediate species,
