We search for theorems that, given a   ${{C}_{i}}$ -field
 ${{C}_{i}}$ -field   $K$  and a subfield
 $K$  and a subfield   $k$  of
 $k$  of   $K$ , allow us to conclude that
 $K$ , allow us to conclude that   $k$  is a
 $k$  is a   ${{C}_{j}}$  -field for some
 ${{C}_{j}}$  -field for some   $j$ . We give appropriate theorems in the case
 $j$ . We give appropriate theorems in the case   $\text{case }K=k\left( t \right)$  and
 $\text{case }K=k\left( t \right)$  and   $K=k\left( \left( t \right) \right)$ . We then consider the more difficult case where
 $K=k\left( \left( t \right) \right)$ . We then consider the more difficult case where   $K/k$  is an algebraic extension. Here we are able to prove some results, and make conjectures. We also point out the connection between these questions and Lang's conjecture on nonreal function fields over a real closed field.
