On the basis of available theoretical evaluations of the H-burning evolutionary phases of Population II stars, it is at present quite simple to predict the expected location of Zero-Age Horizontal-Branch (ZAHB) stars for assumed values of the age and original chemical composition. A result of such a computation is disclosed in Fig. 1, for the labelled values of the assumed evolutionary parameters.
