I don't have the book in front of me so I don't know exactly 
where, but The Abhidhammattha Sangaha of Acariya Anuruddha has 
information of this type.  This work has been translated into
English by Bhikkhu Bodhi et al, and the introduction is online 
here:

[ My apologies in advance is someone has already mentioned 
this work; I read BUDDHA-L in digest mode to keep the volume 
manageable. ]
