Using results obtained by J. W. L. Glaisher [1, 2] for the number of representations Rr,s(n) of n as a sum of r odd and s even squares, formulae are derived for the number of Cayley integers of given norm n in certain orders ℴ. When computer generating order elements of given norm, the formulae can be used to verify that all the required elements have been obtained.
