Richard Browne, watercolour painter and natural history artist, was transported to New South Wales after being convicted in Dublin in 1810. He served the majority of his seven-year sentence in Newcastle.

Accompanying each illustration is a description of the specimen that includes physical appearance, habitat, methods of reproduction, and native name.
