Abstract
The Plesiosauria (Reptilia, Sauropterygia) from Kutch Province are discussed; a portion of a vertebral column from the Upper Kimmerigian is described and referred to the Cryptoclididiae (Plesiosauroidea). <I>Thaumatosaurus indicus</I> (Lydekeker 1877) known by a mandibular symphysis from the Tithonian is redescribed and referred to <I>Simolestes indicvus</I> (Pliosauridae, Pliosauroidea). This leads to an extension of the palaeogeographical distribution of these families.
