When the following series of Ornithological Drawings was 

 commenced, it was proposed that a figure should be given of 

 each species described in the " Birds of Jamaica." 



It was subsequently judged desirable to modify this plan, 

 by omitting such species as had been well figured before, in 

 works easily available to the British public. 



The plates, however, had been already numbered in agreement 

 with the order in which the species are treated in the work 

 above-named ; and this order could not be changed : they are 

 recommended to be arranged, when bound, as they are enume- 

 rated in the following table, the numbers being still successive, 

 though not continuous. 



London, April, 1849.
