For precise definition see Example 15.3.6 of Miklos Bona, editor, Handbook of Enumerative Combinatorics, CRC Press, 2015, pages 1001-1002.
Apparently this has been computed by series inversion (INVERT transform) of the generating function x+2*x^2+3*x^3+4*x^4, which is not related to a Cyc. transformation (as claimed by Bona) (??) To obtain an interpretation from the Polya cycle index for the group of cyclic permutations, one would have to plug in the g.f. x+2*x^2+5*x^3+10*x^4+18*x^5+26*x^6+.. and it's difficult to associate this with any sort of marked linear chains of length up to 4 (because terms of x^5 and higher are needed). - R.
