An upper bound is given for the order of the kernel of the map on Sideal class groups that is induced by For some special types of number fields F the connection between the size of the above kernel for and the units and norms in are examined. Let K2(O) denote the Milnor K-group of the ring of integers of a number field. In some cases a formula by Conner, Hurrelbrink and Kolster is extended to show how closely the 4-rank of is related to the 4-rank of the S-ideal class group of
