For a graph G, let g(G) and σ g (G) denote, respectively, the girth of G and the number of cycles of length g(G) in G. In this paper, we first obtain an upper bound for σ g (G) and determine the structure of a 2-connected graph G when σ g (G) attains the bound. These extremal graphs are then more-or-less classified, but one case leads to an unsolved problem. The structural results are finally applied to show that certain families of graphs are chromatically unique
