%N a(2n-1) = the smallest prime not occurring earlier in the sequence. a(2n) = the a(2n-1)th prime.

%C This sequence is a permutation of the primes.

%e The smallest prime not occurring among the first 8 terms of the sequence is 19; So a(9) = 19. The a(9)th prime = 19th prime is 67; so a(10) = 67.
