Abstract
The bones repcrted from the Triassic of Mount Potts last century are indetermin- ahle Ichthyosauria. No bones preserved in collections or seen on recent visits approach the large sizes reported by Hector, The names proposed for them by Hector, Lydekker and Chapman are either nomina ntlda or were based on almost certainly non- diagnostic material which has subsequently been lost. Indetermlnable ichthyosaurian centra from the Motuan Stage (Upper Albian) of Waira.I;1apa district are the first Cretaceous ichthyosaurs to be reported from New Zealand.
