Abstract
We recall some basic properties of the Beta distribution and some of its modifications. We identified around of the moment sequences of Beta distributions as important integer sequences in the OEIS base of integer sequences. Among those identified are Catalan, Riordan, Motzkin, or 'super ballot numbers'. By applying a method of expansion of the ratio of densities of involved distributions we are able to obtain some known and many unknown relationships between e.g. Catalan numbers and other moment sequences of the Beta distributions.
