COMMENTS

Smaller member p of cousin prime pairs (p, p+4).

A015913 contains the composite number 305635357, so is different from the present sequence and A029710 (305635357 is the only composite member of A015913 < 10^9) - Jud McCranie, Jan 07, 2001.

Apart from the first term, all terms are of the form 6n+1.
