Summary Geometric quantization is applied to obtain quantization of the nonisotropic harmonic oscillatory by using an auxiliary globally defined function which differs, in general, from the Hamiltonian, but reduces in the isotropic case to a constant multiple of the Hamiltonian. The difficulties encountered in studying the corresponding orbit spaces are also discussed and the generalized structure ofV-manifolds necessary for their study is indicated.
