Coralline algae from the Khari Series of Cutch are recorded. Five species (two of them new) belonging to four genera (one new) are described. These are Lithophyllum aft. L. kladosum Johnson, Mesophyllum commune Lemoine, Aethesolithon problematicum Johnson, A. cutchensis sp. nov. and Archaeoporolithon miocenicum gen. et sp. nov. The algal evidence suggests a Lower Miocene age for the formation containing them.
