[OS X TeX] longtable

[Denis Chabot]

Well it is a problem-laden night for me!

I'm trying longtable for the first time. I have this in the preamble:
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{longtable}

The long table has fairly short lines. It begins like this:

\begin{table}[htbp]
  \begin{center}
     \caption{Number of sets and stomachs for each stratum of the survey 
area.}
   \label{tab:n_sets_stratum}
  \begin{longtable}[t]{lrrr}\toprule
Origin & Strata & Nb of sets & Nb of stomachs\\ \midrule
\endhead
NGSL&$101$&$ 10$&$  90$\\
NGSL&$102$&$ 13$&$ 108$\\

many more lines

SGSL&$439$&$ 12$&$ 140$\\
SGSL&$$&$ 13$&$ 224$\\
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}
\end{table}


This table goes to the very bottom of the page, way past the margin, 
and does not continue on the next page.

I tried if there was any clue in the console, but did not find anything 
very informative, or at least anything I recognized as useful!

To get around the problem, at least temporarily, I even tried a manual 
page break at a spot that I judged adequate to just about fill the 
first page:

NGSL&$829$&$ 23$&$ 163$\\
\newpage
NGSL&$830$&$ 24$&$ 176$\\

This had no effect.

What am I doing wrong?

Sincerely,

Denis Chabot
