| Feb 3, 2016 at 18:55 | comment | added | Jeremy Rouse | Magma apparently uses the explicit enumeration of $p$-neighbors to determine both the size of the genus, and representatives. This method apparently originates from Kneser, and so was not something known to Zolotareff. However, these results can be obtained using the mass formula, and H.J.S. Smith, who was a contemporary of Zolotareff, was the first to write it down in high dimensions. | |

| Feb 3, 2016 at 18:11 | comment | added | Jeremy Rouse | Both of these two guesses are true, and easily confirmed by Magma. | |
