There is a file DETAILS.gz which explains all those fields.

from DETAILS.gz:
 4. Field:  Algorithm:  1 = RSA
                       16 = Elgamal (encrypt only)
                       17 = DSA (sometimes called DH, sign only)
                       20 = Elgamal (sign and encrypt)
            (for other id's see include/cipher.h)
