• The insect bed at Brown’s Wood was located by Brodie (1865), overlying the Estheria and Pecten beds, which are old terms for the Cotham Member and the Westbury Formation, respectively. Swift (1995) studied the occurrence of the White Lias throughout Britain. The White Lias is absent in Gloucestershire and is replaced by the Pseudomonotis bed but in Warwickshire, the White Lias is present, so the insect-bearing bed lying above the Cotham Member is probably in the White Lias (Langport Member).
