Abstract: In this paper we introduce a Cayley transform $\cal{C}$ of a homogeneous Siegel domain $D$ as a slight modification of Penney's one. We give an explicit formula to the inverse map of $\cal{C}$, and thus clarify the biholomorphic nature of $\cal{C}$ in a direct and visible manner. When $D$ is quasisymmetric, our Cayley transform $\cal{C}$ is shown to be naturally coincident with Dorfmeister's one. A phenomenon which does not appear in the case of quasisymmetric domains is presented by an example in the last section.
