Locality.—Cape Point, N. 70° E., 40 miles ; depth, about 800 
fathoms ; bottom, green mud. 
The specific name refers to the place of capture. 
At a neighbouring station, “Cape Point, E. 3 N., 38 miles; 
depth, 630 fathoms; bottom, green mud,” a small Neolithodes was 
obtained, which, to judge by the budding pleopods, is evidently a 
young female. In this the spines on the carapace are in general 
much longer, and the spines along the legs are very much more 
numerous. The telson is still pointing between the chelipeds, 
although the pleon has commenced its outgrowth towards the 
left. There is little doubt that this handsome little specimen 
is a young form of the species here described. From the young 
specimens of N. grimaldit, as shown in various figures, it differs 
greatly in the very numerous spines on the ambulatory legs. 
At some future opportunity I shall hope to describe this form 
in more detail, but reserve such description for the present, in 
the hope of having eventually specimens of intermediate size 
for comparison.

divides the family into three sub-families, Peneinae, Aristaeinae, 
Sicyoninae, defining the first as follows :—“ A long setose leaf- 
like appendage, acting as a sort of protection to the eye, is 
present on the inner border of the basal joint of the antennular
