The work describes the anatomical structure of the cerebellum of the caspian seal (Pusa caspica Gmelin) and Greenland seal (Pagophoca groenlandica Erxleben). The shape of the cerebellum, the disposition of the main lobes and convolutions are characterized. The schemes of three projections of the cerebellum of both species are presented. The figures of the cerebellum size, its absolute and relative weight and the surface of the cerebellum and its portions in seals have been obtained. The well-developmed flocculo-nodular portions and paraflocculuses and relatively poorly developed lobulus paramedianus are pointed to be one of the characteristic features of the structure of the seal cerebellum. An attempt is made to explain great dimensions of the flocculo-nodullar portion and paraflocculuses by specific features of the seal locomotion in water.
该研究描述了里海海豹（Pusa caspica Gmelin）和格陵兰海豹（Pagophoca groenlandica Erxleben）小脑的解剖结构。对小脑的形状、主要叶和脑回的布局进行了描述。给出了两种海豹小脑三个投影的示意图。获得了海豹小脑大小、绝对和相对重量以及小脑及其各部分表面积的数据。指出发育良好的绒球小结叶部分和旁绒球以及发育相对较差的旁中央小叶是海豹小脑结构的特征之一。试图用水中海豹运动的特定特征来解释绒球小结叶部分和旁绒球的较大尺寸。
