No. 6 is a view taken from the shore in the Greve de Lecq, in the Isle of Jersey, a coast of very difficult access. The cliffs are formed of the granite or sienite described in the Memoir, as are also the two detached rocks advanced in front of the coast. The most distant of these latter is of a pyramidal shape, and is pierced through by an arched cavity not visible from this point of view. The quarries of Mont Mado are not far from this place, and lie in the same kind of rock as forms these cliffs.
