In bony fish or teleosts it has been proposed that the cerebellar auricles which receive a large amount of input from the vestibulolateral line system constitute the vestibulocerebellum and are homologues of the flocculonodular lobe of higher vertebrates along with the corpus cerebelli which receives spinocerebellar and tectocerebellar fibers. It constitutes the main mass of the cerebellum in fish reptiles and birds. The rapid transparent ex utero development in
