HEARING AND CEREBELLAR FUNCTIONS 137 



In conclusion, we must refer to the observations in a previous 

 chapter, on tlie acoustico-laterahs lobes of the eel. It will be remem- 

 bered that these lobes were very developed and had an unusual 

 relation to the stratum granulosum of the cerebellum ; we are 

 inclined to think that this adaptation may be the result of its deep- 

 sea habitat in the later stages of its life journey.
