DISCOVERY REPORTS 



I refer to Scyllarides nine specimens from the Atlantic, as shown in Table XI, taken 

 at three stations in the region of Cape Verde Islands, off the west African coast, and near 

 the Cape. The specimens from St. 407 agree so closely with Von Bonde's description 

 that I have little doubt that they belong to S. eUsabethae, but those from Sts. 276 and 

 701 are larger, and may perhaps belong to S. latiis. Four specimens taken on the east 

 African coast may also be larvae of S. elizabethae.
