Abstract: Zagier in [4] discusses a construction of a function $F_{k,D}(x)$ defined for an even integer $kgeq2$, and a positive discriminant $D$. This construction is intimately related to half-integral weight modular forms. In particular, the average value of this function is a constant multiple of the $D$-th Fourier coefficient of weight $k+1/2$ Eisenstein series constructed by H. Cohen in cite{Cohen}. In this note we consider a construction which works both for even and odd positive integers $k$. Our function $F_{k,D,d}(x)$ depends on two discriminants $d$ and $D$ with signs sign$(d)=$ sign$(D)=(-1{)}^k$, degenerates to Zagier's function when $d=1$, namely, [ F_{k,D,1}(x)=F_{k,D}(x), ] and has very similar properties. In particular, we prove that the average value of $F_{k,D,d}(x)$ is again a Fourier coefficient of H. Cohen's Eisenstein series of weight $k+1/2$, while now the integer $kgeq2$ is allowed to be both even and odd.
