The number is the Ethernet type field value in the packet.
That means that the packet is an Ethernet packet (in Digital/Intel/Xerox
form, with the type/length field containing a type value, rather than in
802.3 form, with the type/length field containing a length value), with
a type field value equal to the number in the protocol column.
Ethereal does not dissect every single protocol for which there's a type
field value; many of them are undocumented.

I have no clue what protocol an Ethernet type field value of 24cb is for.
The list of type field values at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ethernet-numbers
doesn't list 24cb, nor does the list at
http://www.cavebear.com/CaveBear/Ethernet/type.html
nor does the IEEE list at
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/ethertype/type-pub.html
and a Google search for
Ethernet 24cb -pci
("-pci" because it appears that some Intel Ethernet device may have a
PCI device code of 24cb) didn't find anything.
Perhaps somebody else knows what protocol that type value is for.
