✦ Synopsis
Based on the catalogue of brachiopods of the Museum fu ¨r Naturkunde (¼ Zoologisches Museum Berlin) published by Helmcke in 1939 and complemented by a recent re-arrangement and databasing of the collection, the brachiopod types held in the collection "Marine Invertebrates" of the Museum fu ¨r Naturkunde are described in detail. Where appropriate the history of name changes of the species is given in chronological order. Taxonomic remarks and historical information about the specimens enlightening the history of name changes, misinterpretations of types and other specimen details complement the descriptions. 30 brachiopod species are represented by primary types, one of which remains uncertain. 4 additional species were thought to be represented by primary types in Helmcke (1939a), but their type status could not be confirmed here.
