Abstract: In a recent preprint on arXiv Roland Bacher showed that the number $p_d$ of non-similar perfect $d$-dimensional quadratic forms satisfies $e^{Omega(d)}<p_d<e^{O(d^{3}log(d))}$. We improve the upper bound to $e^{O(d^{2}log(d))}$ by a volumetric argument based on Voronoi's first reduction theory.
