✦ Synopsis

We present the final results of the search for exotic massive particles in the cosmic radiation performed with the MACRO underground experiment.

Magnetic monopoles and nuclearites flux upper limits obtained with the CR39 nuclear track subdetector, the scintillation and streamer tube subdetectors are given. Searches at high altitude with the SLIM experiment are in progress.
