Abstract: We consider series of the form ${\displaystyle }$ frac{p}{q} +sum_{j=2}^infty frac{1}{x_j}, ${\displaystyle }$ where $x_1=q$ and the integer sequence $(x_n)$ satisfies a certain non-autonomous recurrence of second order, which entails that $x_n|x_{n+1}$ for $ngeq1$. It is shown that the terms of the sequence, and multiples of the ratios of successive terms, appear interlaced in the continued fraction expansion of the sum of the series, which is a transcendental number.
