In this paper, we give a combinatorial proof for a recurrence relation of the Raney numbers in terms of coral diagrams. Using this recurrence relation, we confirm a conjecture posed by Amdeberhan concerning the enumeration of 16300622&_mathId=si4.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0195669816300622&_rdoc=1&_issn=01956698&md5=3efbb010c82be2ab8ee122409760231b" title="Click to view the MathML source">(s,s+1)-core partitions 16300622&_mathId=si7.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0195669816300622&_rdoc=1&_issn=01956698&md5=cd522a1a9f78d0bf30cf035ed50af174" title="Click to view the MathML source">λ with parts that are multiples of 16300622&_mathId=si8.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0195669816300622&_rdoc=1&_issn=01956698&md5=f0641c1697a63c9baf5a516e86d46055" title="Click to view the MathML source">p.
