For the information of any seeking articles on the Strombidae, I have posted many of those available in the HAWAIIAN SHELL NEWS from 1960 through 1992. They can be found in the Archive site of THE CAPTURED COWRY, which is located at http://www.geocities.com/~makuabob/ Follow a link on the front 'page' to a species-name index to find references and links to several items on Strombus decorus plus many more species.
