Abstract: We improve a result of H. L. Montgomery and J. P. Weinberger by establishing the existence of infinitely many fundamental discriminants $d>0$ for which the class number of the real quadratic field $mathbbQ(sqrtd)$ exeeds $(2e^{gamma}+o(1))sqrtd(loglogd)/logd$. We believe this bound to be best possible. We also obtain upper and lower bounds of nearly the same order of magnitude, for the number of real quadratic fields with discriminant $dleqx$ which have such an extreme class number.
