Maugé’s Humming-Bird (Sporadinus? Maugæi), John Gould It is very interesting to the ornithologist to observe that most of the West India Islands, particularly those of any extent, are tenanted by species of birds which are not found in the others. This illustration has been restored to its original vibrancy by enhancing colors and removing unwanted marks. A monograph of the Trochilidæ, or family of humming-birds was published between 1849 and 1887 by English ornithologist John Gould. This monumental work depicts and describes all the known species of hummingbirds at the time - comprising 418 lithographic plates and information on 537 species."
