cont.
cont'd
...are both "generally accepted" abbreviations of 'continued', for use in 'general writing'. Some may dispute that a contraction is not an abbreviation, technically. However, many publications use one form or the other. When used to indicate that a topic is continued on another page, "continued" is assumed, rather than as an instruction to 'continue' reading.
Other technical reference sources, such as the American National Standards Institute, have more stringent definitions, relating to technical publications, of what an abbreviation is, for use in ANSI publications and as a legal matter.
"cont." is not a correct abbreviation (since it contains a punctuation)
"cont'd" is a contraction (with apostrophe for omitted letters).
"contd" is a true (which excludes punctuation) and unambiguous (which can't be confused with "continue") abbreviation of "continued"

You may observe, in the details cited above, the MacMillan Dictionary's usage of 'punctuation' (a period) for many examples of abbreviations... even including the form "contd.", with a period. Many other dictionary sources include punctuation in their cited abbreviations... presumably for 'general writing'.
