Supplementary Data

A. Greatest spread measured between perpendiculars at right angles to the centre line of the skull.
B. Tip to tip spread measured from outer edge of tips of horns.

1. Score Data
   1. Length of horn measured from lowest point in front on outer curve to a point in line with tip. Do not press tape into depressions. The low point of the outer curve of the horn is considered to be the low point of the frontal portion of the horn, situated above and slightly medial to the eye socket, (not on the outside edge of the horn).
   2. Circumference of base measured at right angles to axis of horn. Do not follow irregular edge of horn.
   3. Divide measurement 1.1. of longer horn by four, mark both horns at these quarters even though other horn is shorter, and measure circumferences at these marks.
   4. Divide measurement 1.1. of longer horn by four, mark both horns at these quarters even though other horn is shorter, and measure circumferences at these marks.
   5. Divide measurement 1.1. of longer horn by four, mark both horns at these quarters even though other horn is shorter, and measure circumferences at these marks.
