This paper gives a necessary criterion in terms of Hodge theory for representability by quaternion algebras of certain 2‐torsion classes in the unramified Brauer group of a complex function field. This criterion is used to give examples of threefolds with unramified Brauer group elements which are the classes of biquaternion division algebras.
