We show that the structures of quasi- K -cosymplectic and quasi-Kenmotsu manifolds are related to (1, 2) symplectic structures. For horizontally submersions of contact CR -submanifolds of quasi- K -cosymplectic and quasiKenmotsu manifolds, we study the principal characteristics and prove that their total spaces are CR -product. Curvature properties between curvatures of quasi- K -cosymplectic and quasi-Kenmotsu manifolds and the base spaces of such submersions are also established. We finally prove that, under a certain condition, the contact CR -submanifold of a quasi Kenmotsu manifold is locally a product of a totally geodesic leaf of an integrable horizontal distribution and a curve tangent to the normal distribution.

Introduction Riemannian submersions between Riemannian manifolds were initiated by O’Neill [14]. Almost contact metric submersions were developed by Chinea [8] and Watson [17]. The theory of almost contact metric submersions intertwines contact geometry with the almost Hermitian one. For instance, the base space of an almost contact metric submersion of type II , in the
