Abstract
The Danian fauna of mollusca from Vigny increases from 55 to 171 species di stributed in 130 genera. Extended stratigraphic ranges are given for 22 gen era. The Cenozoic character of the fauna relies on the 57 exclusively Terti ary genera as opposed to only 9 genera of Maastrichtian and Danian distribu tion, and by a species assemblage closely similar to that of the Belgian Mi ddle Danian.
