Abstract.   In this paper an attempt has been made to extend the ideal theory of lattices to trellises. Hashimoto's results concerning ideals and congruences in lattices are extended to trellises. Also a characterization of trellises in which every ideal is the kernel of at most one congruence relation is obtained by extending the corresponding well-known result in lattices due to Grätzer and Schmidt.

Keywords:  trellis; lattice; ideal lattice of a trellis; congruence relation.
