ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3-1985, ISO/DIS 8802/3 does not have a type field in the 
MAC header.  Referencing section 3.2 in that handy-dandy book published
by the IEEE and distributed by John Wiley & Sons.  

Of course, you may be referring to the Ethernet type field.  As far as I
know, ISO does not officially support Ethernet, and I don't know if the
Ethernet gods have assigned a type number to the ISO layer 3 protocol.
