I would appreciate it very much if someone told me what all the abbreviations in the following text (from a 1897 paper by Westerlund) stood for. I suspect "anfr." is for "whorls", "perist." is "peristome" & "ap." is "aperture", but what are "T." & "d." & the rest? "T. oblongo-conica, leviss. striatula, corneo-fusca; anfr. 7, regulares, ult. basi turgidus; ap. 2-dentata: d. l par. compresso sat valido et d. l marg. tuberclif., tuberculo ang. nullo, perist. alboincrassato, vix expansiusculo." Many thanks.
