    Let k be an algebraic function field in one variable over a finite field of constants. Let K be an imaginary quadratic extension of k and L a binary quadratic lattice on (K, N), where N denotes the norm form from K over k. This paper proves class number formulas for such lattices L and considers the growth of these class numbers.
