Several new types of Hurwitz continued fractions have been studied. Most basic Hurwitz continued fractions can be expressed by using confluent hypergeometric functions ${}_0F_1(;c;z)$. This expression enables us to find some more general Hurwitz continued fractions. A contrast between Tasoev continued fractions and Hurwitz ones yields some more general Tasoev continued fractions. Some Ramanujan continued fractions are also discussed.
