Recently, K.Yano and M.Kon [5] have introduced the notion of a contact C R -submanifold of a Sasakian manifold which is closely similar to the one of a C R -submanifold of a Kaehlerian manifold defined by A. Bejancu [1].
In this paper, we shall obtain some fundamental properties of contact C R -submanifolds of a Sasakian manifold. Next, we shall calculate the length of the second fundamental form of a contact C R -product of a Sasakian space form (THEOREM 7.4). At last, we shall prove that a totally umbilical contact C R -submanifold satisfying certain conditions is totally geodesic in the ambient manifold (THEOREM 8.1).
