The aim of the paper is to study some geometric properties of weakly Z-symmetric manifolds. Weakly Z-symmetric manifolds with Codazzi type and cyclic parallel Z tensor are studied. We consider Einstein weakly Z-symmetric manifolds and conformally flat weakly Z-symmetric manifolds. Next, it is shown that a totally umbilical hypersurface of a conformally flat weakly Z-symmetric manifolds is of quasi constant curvature. Also, decomposable weakly Z-symmetric manifolds are studied and some examples are constructed to support the existence of such manifolds.

In this paper, we study some geometric structures of a weakly cyclic Z-symmetric manifold (briefly, $[W CZS]_n$). More precisely, we prove that a conformally flat $[W CZS]_n$ satisfying certain conditions is special conformally flat and hence the manifold can be isometrically immersed in an Euclidean manifold $E^n+1$ as a hypersurface if the manifold is simply connected. Also we show that there exists a $[W CZS]_4$ with one parameter family of its associated 1-forms.
