Abstract: For a positive definite integral ternary quadratic form f, let r(k,f) be the number of representations of an integer k by f. The famous Minkowski-Siegel formula implies that if the class number of f is one, then r(k,f) can be written as a constant multiple of a product of local densities which are easily computable. In this article, we consider the case when the spinor genus of f contains only one class. In this case the above also holds if k is not contained in a set of finite number of square classes which are easily computable (see, for example, cite{sp1} and cite {sp2}). By using this fact, we prove some extension of the results given in both cite {cl} on the representations of generalized Bell ternary forms and cite {be} on the representations of ternary quadratic forms with some congruence conditions.
