The author considers Riemann surfaces defined by an equation of the form \[ y^5=x^{m_1}(x-1)^{m_2}(x-z)^{m_3}, \] where \(z\) is a complex number different from 0 and 1, \(1\leq m_i\leq 4\), and \(m_1+m_2+m_3\) is not divisible by 5. The author determines the number of distinct Weierstrass points on such Riemann surfaces depending on whether \(z\) is a root of certain explicit polynomials. Also, the author determines the number of isomorphism classes of such Riemann surfaces having the same number of Weierstrass points when the number of such classes is finite. The results follow from an explicit computation of the Wronskian of a basis of holomorphic differentials.
