Let d be a square‐free number and let CL(−d) denote the ideal class group of the imaginary quadratic number field Q(√−d). Further let h(−d) = #CL(−d) denote the class number. For integers g ⩾ 2, we define Ng(X) to be the number of square‐free d ⩾ X such that CL(−d) contains an element of order g. Gauss' genus theory demonstrates that if d has at least two odd prime factors (in particular, for almost all d) then CL(−d) contains Z2 as a subgroup. Thus N2(X) ∼ 6X/π2. The behaviour of Ng(X) is not understood for any other value of g. It is believed that Ng(X) ∼ CgX for some positive constant Cg. For odd primes g, H. Cohen and H. Lenstra [3] conjectured that Cg=6π2(1‐Πi=1∞(1‐1gi))
