Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of representations of a positive integer by sums of four squares using quaternions. The result is the formula for the number of representations of a positive integer by one of the above mentioned quaternary quadratic forms.Approx. 20 pages.
