This book accompanies Gosse's previous work, "The Birds of Jamaica," providing detailed ornithological illustrations of various bird species found in Jamaica. The focus of the book is on representing the diverse avian life of the island and contributing to the scientific knowledge of its fauna. The content of the book primarily includes ornithological drawings of different bird species, accompanied by their descriptions and classifications.
