Methods developed in the author's thesis [Die Berechnung der Klassenzahl abelscher Körper über quadratischen Zahlkörpern. Berlin: Akademie-Verlag (1957; Zbl 0079.06001)] are used to obtain class number formulas for totally imaginary pure quartic number fields. Two formulas are given for the product of the class number and the regulator of such fields. The first equation involves Dedekind eta functions, while the second involves a so-called elliptic norm function, which is the complex norm of the product of a Dedekind eta function and a Klein sigma function. While the results are very elegant, no indication is given of their practicality from a computational point of view. [For the entire collection see Zbl 0734.00015.]
