We review various inequalities for Mills' ratio (1 - Φ)= Ø, where Ø and Φ denote
the standard Gaussian density and distribution function, respectively. Elementary
considerations involving finite continued fractions lead to a general approximation
scheme which implies and refines several known bounds.
