Dear Tony &amp; Zooarch colleagues<br /><br />a good person to contact re information on wolfs may be Professor Nikolai Spassov, who is director of the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia, Bulgaria. You can visit his web page for more details at:<br /><a href="http://www.nmnhs.com/spassov-nikolai-en.html">http://www.nmnhs.com/spassov-nikolai-en.html</a><br /><br />Since&nbsp;2008 he has been a&nbsp; member of the working team for the creation of the National Action plan for the wolf in Bulgaria, a project of the Balkani Society, supported by the Ministry of the Environment of Bulgaria.<br /><br />I met him many years ago when I was working in Bulgaria in the mid to late 1980's.... in the good old communist days!&nbsp;.... They certainly have wolf specimens in the Natural History Museum there, and I'm sure that he has a collection of measurements taken on them. <br /><br />kind regards<br /><br />Mark<br /><br />Dr Mark Beech<br />Cultural Landscapes Manager<br />Historic

<blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #cdcdcd 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px">Good day all,<br />There are any number of papers that seek to discriminate the crania of <br />wolf and dog by statistical procedures. However, few of these provide us <br />with any actual data. Can anyone kindly point me towards a data set of <br />wolf skull measurements (old world or new) taken according to Von den <br />Driesch?<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Tony Legge<br /><br /><br /></blockquote>
