 Remarks: While we follow Briggs (1958: 272) in using this 

 specific name, we wish to point out that in relative length of second and 

 third dorsal spines, number of lower-limb gill rakers and number of 

 pectoral fin rays our material more nearly fit D. bivittaturn (Valen- 

 ciennes) as discussed by Ginsburg (1948).
