Abstract:
Avian type specimens collected in southern Africa between 18391856 by J.A. Wahlberg for the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm (Naturhistoriska riksmuseet; NRM) are listed. Each species account discusses collection sites, nomenclature, and taxonomy, and as needed, gives notes from Wahlbergs journal of travel routes and camp sites that correct or modify type localities.
