1  FARGION 1995 bound is sensitive to assumed ${{\mathit \nu}}$ concentration in the Galaxy. See also KONOPLICH 1994 .
2  These results assume that neutrinos make up dark matter in the galactic halo.
3  Limits based on annihilations in the sun and are due to an absence of high energy neutrinos detected in underground experiments.
4  MORI 1992B results assume that neutrinos make up dark matter in the galactic halo. Limits based on annihilations in earth are also given.
5  REUSSER 1991 uses existing ${{\mathit \beta}}{{\mathit \beta}}$ detector (see FISHER 1989 ) to search for CDM Dirac neutrinos.
6  ENQVIST 1989 argue that there is no cosmological upper bound on heavy neutrinos.
