    Continuing their investigations on the number of closed geodesics on certain Finsler manifolds the authors obtain the following interesting results: On every real projective space \((\mathbb{R}P^3,F)\) with a bumpy and irreversible Finsler metric \(F\) there exist at least two distinct non-contractible closed geodesics. Also, the existence of at least two geometrically distinct non-contractible geodesics is proved when the base manifold is \(\mathbb{R}P^{2n+1}\), and \(F\) is a bumpy reversible Finsler metric.
