We study the random directed graph with vertex set {1, …, n} in which the directed edges (i, j) occur independently with probability cn/n for i<j and probability zero for i ⩽ j. Let Mn (resp., Ln) denote the length of the longest path (resp., longest path starting from vertex 1). When cn is bounded away from 0 and ∞ as n∞, the asymptotic behavior of Mn was analyzed in previous work of the author and J. E. Cohen. Here, all restrictions on cn are eliminated and the asymptotic behavior of Ln is also obtained. In particular, if cn/ln(n)∞ while cn/n0, then both Mn/cn and Ln/cn are shown to converge in probability to the constant e.
