Monodromy representations on the solution space of Lauricella' s system of differential equations ED and the Jordan-Pochhammer differential equation EJP are studied by using integrals of a multivalued function. We first establish the fact that any solution of ED and any solution of EJP are both expressed by the integrals of a multivalued function. Second, a necessary and sufficient condition for the irreducibility is given.
