The author uses known methods [Binary quadratic forms. Classical theory and modern computations. New York: Springer (1989; Zbl 0698.10013)] for calculating the class groups of imaginary quadratic fields of discriminant \(-D\) subject to \(0< D< 22\cdot 10^8\). Class numbers only are further calculated for all \(D\) in the intervals \([10^i+ j 10^6, 10^i+ (j+1) 10^6]\) with \(i= 15, 16, 17\) and \(j= 0, 1, 2, 3, 4\). The paper contains a variety of interesting data on those fields: The author computes extremal values and mean values of \(L\)-functions. He compares his results on class groups with the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. There are tables of Sylow subgroups for primes \(p\) up to \(p=113\). Finally, he remarks that even the conditional Bach bound on the size of splitting primes required for obtaining the class groups is too large for the fields considered.
