Let $X$ be a projective smooth variety over a field $k$. In the first part we show that an indecomposable element in $C{{H}^{2}}\left( X,\,1 \right)$ can be lifted to an indecomposable element in $C{{H}^{3}}\left( {{X}_{K}},\,2 \right)$ where $K$ is the function field of 1 variable over $k$. We also show that if $X$ is the self-product of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ then the $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space of indecomposable cycles $CH_{ind}^{3}{{\left( {{X}_{\mathbb{C}}},\,2 \right)}_{\mathbb{Q}}}$ is infinite dimensional.

In the second part we give a new definition of the group of indecomposable cycles of $C{{H}^{3}}\left( X,\,2 \right)$ and give an example of non-torsion cycle in this group.
