Let \(C\) be an ideal class of a real quadratic field. A criterion for \(C\) to contain at most one ambiguous ideal is given. The proof uses continued fractions. For quadratic orders in general, see the reviewer, \textit{P. Kaplan}, \textit{K. Williams}, and \textit{Y. Yamamoto} [Einseign. Math., II. Ser. 37, 263-292 (1991; Zbl 0756.11030)].
