Nice find !
Directly after that phrase, he also gives the number of nonisomorphic
rings of order p^3:
THEOREM 14. The exact number of mutually nonisomorphic rings
of order p^3, each possessing an identity element, is eleven or twelve
according as the prime p is even or odd. Only one of these rings is
noncommutative - (...).
So this is "almost" a function of the prime signature (i.e. the same
for all odd prime cubes).
