The labels at the Carnegie Museum are all the same regardless of type
designation.  In former days a "red star" was placed on the upper right
hand corner of the label.
Since the type collection is housed in a different cabinet from the
systematic collection colored labels are not necessary.  What type the
specimen is, holotype, paratype, etc., is writen across the top of the
label.
This is how the tpyes are handled in the malacology collection, whether
other Sections handle them differently is unknown to me.
