Abstract
The supersymmetric extension of Taub-NUT space admits four standard su persymmetries plus several additional nonstandard ones. The geometrica l origin of these symmetries is traced, and their algebraic structure is clarified. The result has applications to fermion modes in gravitat ional instantons as well as in long-range monopole dynamics.
