Abstract
Anterograde degeneration studies in Tupinambis nigropunctatus (DeFina and Webster 1974) and in Iguana iguana (Foster and Hall 1978) showed that the auditory portion of the eighth cranial nerve (i.e., the dorsal part of its posterior division) projects to two nuclei in the dorsomedial part of the rhombencephalon, the nucleus angularis and the nucleus dorsalis magnocellularis. HRP studies in Varanus exanthematicus (H.A. Barbas-Henry 1985, unpublished work) are in keeping with these anterograde degeneration studies.
