Abstract: We generalize Watson's $q$-analogue of Ramanujan's Entry 40 continued fraction by deriving solutions to a ${}_{10}ph{i}_9$ series contiguous relation and applying Pincherle's theorem. Watson's result is recovered as a special terminating case, while a limit case yields a new continued fraction associated with an $ephis$ series contiguous relation.
