Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 73-77) / The CERN WA97 results display a strong strangeness enhancement at mid-rapidity which is dependent on the strangeness of the particle concernec, and saturates at values of participating nucleons greater than 120. These results are phenomenologically described by the mixed canonical ensemble, with canonical (exact) strangeness conservation involving all strange resonances, and grand canonical conservation of charge and baryon number. It is shown that the data are well described by an equilibrium hadron gas. Other explanations of these data are reviewed.
