Let <TEX>$K_{\alpha}(G)$</TEX> (resp. <TEX>$K_s(G)$</TEX>) be the abelian (resp. symmetric) Kac algebra for a locally compact group G. We show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the subgroups of G and the sub-Kac algebras of <TEX>$K_{\alpha}(G)$</TEX> (resp. <TEX>$K_s(G)$</TEX>). Moreover we obtain similar correspondences between the subgroups of G and the reduced Kac algebras of <TEX>$K_{\alpha}(G)$</TEX> (resp. <TEX>$K_s(G)$</TEX>).
