More terms from David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net). His search was complete only through a(2) = 43098. - Sep 15 1996.

Kaplansky gives two further numbers with this property: 2597942466059820 and 6847610254216117540. The first is probably new and the second is in Dickson.

I. Kaplansky and W. Jagy have verified that there are no other terms below 9*10^11. - Oct 13, 2002

The keyword "more" refers to the fact that there may be missing terms in the sequence above 9 * 10^11.
