We consider the number of spaces, up to rational homotopy equivalence, which have rational cohomology algebra isomorphic to that of stunted complex projective space . Using a classification theory due to Schlessinger and Stasheff, we determine the number of rational homotopy types with rational comology algebra isomorphic to , for any given n and k. The necessary computations make use of a spectral sequence introduced by the second named author.
