Types of birds
The latest major revision of the types of birds at the Swedish Museum of Natural History was made by Nils Gyldenstolpe in 1926
His revision contains 283 types, the majority of which (104) have been described by Professor Carl Sundevall.
But there are also two Linnean types, viz. Oriolus aureus and Loxia hordacea, as well as 25 of Sparrman´s types to his famous work "Museum Carlsonianum".
Otherwise there are specimens described by Ljungh, von Paykull, Wahlberg, Nilsson, Victorin, Sjöstedt, Lönnberg, Zedlitz and Gyldenstolpe himself etc.
