This paper originated in an attempt to carry over the results of [3] from the case of a field of characteristic different from two to that of semilocal rings. To carry this out, we reverse the point of view of [3] and do assume a full knowledge of the theory of Witt rings of classes of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms over semilocal rings as given, for example, in [10; 11]. It turns out that the rings WT of [3] are just the residue class rings of W(C), the Witt ring of a semilocal ring C, modulo certain intersections of prime ideals.
