Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold whose geodesic flow φi : UM→UM on the unit tangent bundle is of Anosov type. In this paper we count the number of φi-closed orbits and study the distribution of prime closed geodesies in a given homology class in H1(M, Z). Here a prime closed geodesic means an (oriented) image of a φi-closed orbit by the projection p : UMM.
