Gosse's "Birds of Jamaica" is still the standard work on the birds of 

 this island, and the specimens above recorded are doubtless the material 

 on which his descriptions were founded. Unfortunately they have much 

 deteriorated, having been mounted for many years in the British Museum 

 Galleries at Bloomsbury, and ruined by exposure to light and dust. A 

 good series of Jamaican Birds is a great desideratum to the Museum. 



Some of his birds appear to have been sent to Hugh Cuming (vide 

 antea, p. 333). (Cf. Diet. Nat. Biogr., xxii., pp. 258-260.)
