Abstract
A recently proposed mass formula for the muon is extended to and other heavy leptons. It is postulated that a quantized magnetic self-energy of magnitude , where is a new quantum number, be added to the rest mass of a lepton to get the next heavy lepton in the chain , , , with for , for , etc. I predict MeV, and for the next lepton MeV.
