Abstract
Using two specific models and a model independent formalism, we show t hat an ''out-longitudinal'' cross term should be included in any gauss ian fits to correlation data. In addition, we show that correlation ra dii (including the cross term) measure lengths of homogeneity within t he source, not necessarily geometric sizes.
