Abstract

This catalogue gives a review of the zoological type material deposited in the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The museum dates back to the eighteenth century but the main collections are from the twentieth century. A considerable portion of the type material originates from «The Norwegian Scientific Expedition to Tristan da Cunha 1937-1938». The collections consist of marine organisms except for two species of Hymenoptera (Insecta).
