Excerpt from Journal of the Federated Malay States Museums, 1916-1917, Vol. 7
In the case of the measurement of total length old skulls may give a longer measurement than that really representing their morphological size due to the development of post-occipital ridges. The length is also increased at the anterior extremity in very old specimens owing to occasional ossification of the cartilage at the tips of the nasals.
In the case of the measurement of the length of the nasals an element of uncertainty is often introduced by the irregularity of the suture with the frontal. This error may be either positive or negative.
