EC_POINT_point2oct() problem

Want to understand why (or is this wrong). When I call EC_POINT_point2oct() given a curve of size say 192 or 384. It always returns a size 1 greater then one would think. i.e. 192 yields 25 and 384 yields 49. Should it not be 24 bytes and 48 bytes? i.e. 384 bits/8 bits-byte = 48. Is there so
