A comprehensive study of the foraminiferal assemblage from Jurassic rocks of Kutch, western India has been made. A section comprising the Patcham, Chari, and Katrol "series" was studied in detail. The first two of these units contain rich foraminiferal faunas, and the third is barren. The assemblage includes six new species from among the Ammodiscacea and Lituolacea, and four from among the Miliolacea and Nodosariacea. The family Nodosariidae dominates the assemblage. Some species are reported for the first time from the Indian subcontinent. Intraspecific variation and dimorphism are dealt with for a number of forms. The fossiliferous "series" are dated tentatively as Callovian to Oxfordian, and the paleoecology of the Kutch Jurassic is discussed.
