In the condition "anterior nasal," the nasal itself is obscured, but the anterior nasal is usually in contact with the sulcus between the rostral and first supralabial. This condition is coded 0,0. If the anterior nasal is wholly in contact with the rostral, and the inferior nasal has moved into a position above the sulcus between the rostral and first supralabial, the coding is still 0,0. If, however, a recognizable circumnasal or anterior nasal is separated from the rostral by one or more scales, then the relevant minimum count is recorded. Often more than one interpretation of any individual condition may be possible. It is, for example, difficult in some species to decide whether the nasal scales are properly regarded as the "an-.
