    Let \(F\) be an imaginary quadratic field whose class number is odd. The ring of integers of \(F\) is denoted by \(O_F\). Let \(K\) be a quadratic extension of \(F\). Let \(D_{K/F}\) denote the relative discriminant. For each positive integer \(t\), each nonnegative integer \(j\), and each positive real number \(x\), set \(A_t = \{K:\) exactly \(t\) primes of \(F\) ramified in \(K\}\), \(A-{t;x} = \{K \in A_t:\) \(N(D_{K/F}) \leq x\}\), \(A_{t,j;x} = \{K \in A_{t;x}:\) narrow 4-class rank of \(K = j\)\}. The author determines explicitly the quantity \[ \lim_{t \to \infty} \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{|A_{t,j;x}|}{|A_{t;x}|}. \]
