I apparently never responded to this comment, but I'm glad this helped you! I hope you're hanging in there in the querying trenches.

I *scoured* many if not most of the usual sources-even buying a half-dozen successive editions of Writers Market-and came away concluding that too many literary agents don’t follow their own advice. I mean, when writing their own pitch in Writers Market are they not, essentially, writing a query of their own-telling us about them and what they do-and don’t do? After the most careful consideration-I mean I agonised over each and every one; my copy of WM covered in scribbles, highlighter and great big “X”s-I queried *only* those agents who and according to their own words would be good fits for my book. The result? A good 20% of them relied (sometimes rudely) with comments in the order of “This is not the right material for me.” What a waste of time and effort!

How do I look for an agents representation list ,if it isn't listed on their agency page ,and they don't have an individual separate web page?

[@JasmineSkye]

Their publishers marketplace page should list to the deals they've made! If you search their name and publishers marketplace, you should be able to find it.
