A catalyst for .alpha.-olefin polymerization which comprises the following components (A) and (B): component (A), which is a transition metal compound represented by the formula Q(C5H4-mR1,n) (C5H4-nR2n)MeXY wherein (C5H4-mRlm) and (C5H4-nR2n) respectively represent a conjugated five-membered ring ligand coordinating to a metal Me; R1 and R2, which may be the same or different and a plurality of each of which can be bonded together, respectively represent a hydrocarbyl group having l to 20 carbon atoms, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, a siliconcontaining hydrocarbyl. group, a phosphorus-containing hydrocarbyl group, a nitrogen-containing hydrocarbyl group or a boron-containing hydrocarbyl group; Q represents a bonding group which crosslinks the two conjugated five-membered ring ligand; Me represents a transition metal of the IVB-VIB group in the Periodic Table; X and Y, which may be the same or different, respectively represent hydrogen, a halogen atoms, a hydrocarbyl group, an alkoxy group, an amino group, a phosphorus-containing hydrocarbyl group or a siliconcontaining hydrocarbyl group; m denotes an integer of O < m < 4 and n denotes an integer of 0 < n < 4; component (B), which is a methylisobutylalumoxane which satisfies the following conditions (a), (b) and (c): (a) the molar ratio of a methyl group to an isobutyl group being in the range of 4:1 to 1:4, (b) the chemical shift of 27Al-NMR being in the range of 160 ppm to 250 ppm and the peak having a half-height width of no smaller than 3000 Hz, and (c) it has a repeating unit of A1-0 in an amount of 2 to 100. The methylisobutylalumoxane is assumed to be novel.
