The sea which washes the western coasts of France forms a gulph etween Spain and Britain; this gulph, which mariners call the Bayoof Biscay, is very open, and the point which projects farthest inland is betweexi Bayonne and St. Sebastian; another great pro jection is between Rochelle and Rochefort this gulph begins at Cape Ortegal, and ends at Brest, where a strait commences between the south point of Btit'aih and Cape Lizard. This strait, which at first is very large, forms a small gulph in Normandy, the most project ing point of which is at Auranche; it con tinues pretty broad until it comes to the chan nel at the foot of Calais, wh'ere it is very nar row; afterwards it grows broader on a sudden, and ends between the Texel and the coast of England at Norwich; at the Texel it forms a. Small mediterranean sea, called ozuyder-zee, and many, other great canals, which are not very deep.
