The head is measured likewise with its breadth referring to its length, also the snout, eye, maxillary, and interorbital. When the mandible or lower jaw pro trudes in front, the snout is mentioned with the number of times it is contained in the head, followed by the statement from snout tip, thus showing that the protruding portion of the lower jaw is not included in this measurement, In the same way the dimensions are intended to follow through the descriptions or until it is indicated as the total head length.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
