Abstract
We prove that the smoothed counting function of the set of quartic fields, satisfying any finite set of local conditions, can be written as a linear combination of , upto an error term of . For certain sets of local conditions, namely, those cutting out ``-families'' of quartic fields, we explicitly determine the leading constants of the secondary terms. We moreover express these constants in terms of secondary mass formulas associated to families of quartic fields
