A complete catalogue is provided of the type specimens of caecilians and salamanders in the herpetological collections of the Zoological Museum, Berlin as of September, 1992. Excluding putative types of questionable status, the collection contains 15 caecilian type specimens representing 13 taxa (9 presently regarded as valid) and 58 salamander type specimens representing 22 taxa (12 of which are regarded as valid). An additional eight named taxa were represented in the ZMB collections by type material that has been lost.
