The most usual, from highest-pitched to lowest (shorter to longest):

Eb = piccolo clarinet (small)
C = highest-pitched of the soprano clarinets
Bb = next highest soprano (the one used in bands and played by beginners in
the U.S.)
A = lowest of the standard sopranos
Eb Alto = alto clarinet (angled neck, metal curved bell)
Bb Bass = bass clarinet (S-curved neck, curved metal bell)

Other more unusual ones you should probably ask about as you run into them.
Often the posts about them contain descriptions of the instruments
themselves.
