Krause lists them. In my edition of the 1800's Krause (4th ed. 2004) they're listed right at the end of the "India - British" pages, after the East India Company and Imperial coinages. They're listed under the three Presidencies of the Company: Bengal, Madras and Bombay.
They're often not very clear as to the dates the coins were struck in, because the coins themselves are ambiguously dated, struck either with "fictitious dates" or with "frozen dates".
Other "East India Company" coins which bear either the Company coat of arms or balemark were made for other places owned by the company, such as the Straits Settlements, Saint Helena, British-occupied Indonesia, etc.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
