      Let \(K=GF(p)\) be a finite Galois field of characteristic \(p\neq 2\). Let \(F=K(x,y)\) be a function field defined by \(y^ 2=x^ n+a\), where \(a\in K\), \(n\) is a prime number. Let \(h(F)\) denote the (degree-zero divisor) class number and \(g\) the genus of \(F\). The author proves that \(h(F)=p^ g+1\) if \(p\) is congruent to a primitive root modulo \(n\).
