This section will detail known ringers for edos smaller than 100. Because [[wart]]s are limited when it comes to large primes, any primes past 43 are explicitly listed in the form [p, q, r, ...] rather than abbreviated (rather cryptically) as letters. A quick summary of all the warts up to 43 is: | This section will detail known ringers for edos smaller than 100.
