A Guide to the Measurement of Mammal Skull Ⅰ: Basic Measurement
Suggestion is given on standardizing measurement on body and skeleton of mammals by referring literatures over 100 years. It also considers the requirement of numerical taxonomy on measuring items. The expectation of this paper is that the standardization will be used in future academy research. The decision on which skeletal parts to be measured and which measurements to be taken is made by each researcher on the value of finding and aims of the research. No any universal regulation is available for each specialist. However, if we hope, from the point of view of universal validity, to achieve comparable results, the standard measurements will have significant value.
