Entering Your Measurements |

 |
|
| All measurements must be made
with a 1/4-inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest
one-eighth of an inch. Enter fractional figures in eighths,
without reduction. For example, if a point measures
7 and 2/8 inches, you would enter 7 2/8 in the space
provided. |
| A. GREATEST SPREAD |
| The greatest spread is measured between
perpendiculars at a right angle to the center line of
the skull. |

Greatest Spread:
|
| B. TIP TO TIP SPREAD |
| The tip to tip spread is measured between
the tips of the horns. |
| Tip to Tip Spread:
|
| C. LENGTH OF
HORN |
| The length of horn is measured along
the center of the upper horn surface, staying within
the curve of the horn as illustrated, to a point in
line with the tip. Attempt to free the connective tissue
between the horns at the center of the boss to determine
the lowest point of horn material on each side. Hook
the tape under the lowest point of the horn and measure
the length of the horn, with the measurement line maintained
in the center of the upper surface of horn following
the converging lines to the horn tip. |

| D-1. WIDTH OF BOSS |
| The width of the boss is measured with
calipers at the greatest width of the boss, with the
measurement line forming a right angle with the horn
axis. It is often helpful to measure D-1 before C, marking
the midpoint of the boss as the correct path of C. |

| D-2-4. HORN CIRCUMFERENCES |
| Divide Measurement C of the longer horn
by four. Starting at the base, mark both horns at these
quarters (even though the other horn is shorter). Then,
using calipers, measure the width of the boss at D-2,
making sure the measurement is at a right angle to the
horn axis and in line with the D-2 mark. Circumferences
are then measured at D-3 and D-4, with measurements
being taken at right angles to the horn axis. |
