    @Hugh I came across the sequence more or less by accident, and was surprised that it wasn't on OEIS yet. I figured I'd post it here before adding it there :)

The sequence 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 pointed towards octal numbers.

If we take the number 1527465 (base 10) and convert it to base 8 we get the same digits in reverse order 5647251

The gap is because no other number between 7 and 1527465 shares that property.

    So, the sequence is: "numbers in base-10 that equal themselves backwards in base-8"? What could cause this gap?
