By using zeros of elliptic integrals we establish an upper bound for the number of limit cycles that emerge from the period annulus of the Hamiltonian XH in the system Xε = XH + ε(P, Q), where H = y2 + x4 and P, Q are polynomials in x, y, as a function of the degrees of P and Q. In particular, if (P, Q) = , with N = 2k + 1 or 2k + 2, this upper bound is k − 1.
