Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
OLD LIZARD HEAD AND KYNANCE COVE.
The scenery all about the most southerly point of England is extremely wild and grand. The terribly rugged rocks and cliffs are composed partly of a hornblende schist, but largely of serpentine. This mineral is scarcely found anywhere else in England, and it is remarkable that the beautiful Cornish heath, found so plentifully in summer on the moor south of Helston, and only elsewhere on the western Continent of Europe, in this district seems confined to the serpentine region. Three headlands within half a mile seem to have about equal claim to the honour of being the Ultima Thule of the British Isles. The most westerly one is called Old Lizard Head, and appears in the distance as seen from the wild rocks about Kynance Cove.
