The very rich mollusc fauna from the Middle Danian deposits of Fakse, Denmark contains eight species of the gastropod family Cancellariidae. Of these six species are previously undescribed, viz: Unitas anderseni n. sp., Unitas aliceae n. sp., Plesiotriton stem n. sp., Admetula rosenkrantzi n. sp., Admetula faksensis n. sp. and Tatara danica n. sp.
