A compact connected oriented Riemannian 4-manifold \((M,g)\) is called half conformally flat (or \(g\) is called self-dual or antiself-dual) when \(W^ - = 0\) or \(W^ + = 0\) where \(W^ \pm\) is the self-dual (antiself-dual) part of the Weyl conformal curvature tensor \(W\) of \(g\). The significance of the half conformally flat structure is that it ensures the integrability of the almost complex structure which is naturally defined on the twistor space \(Z_ M \to M\), the unit sphere bundle of \(\Omega^ +\), \(Z_ M\) becomes a complex 3-fold with real structure. In this paper the author considers a 4-manifold of certain type, namely a Kähler surface of zero scalar curvature and investigates how the second cohomology group \(H^ 2\) of the elliptic complex relates with certain cohomology group of other elliptic complexes which are holomorphically defined. The author calculates for \((M,g)\) a complex 2-torus or a K3- surface with a flat Kähler metric or a Ricci flat Kähler metric \(H^ 2_ g \cong R^ 5\). For each type of a compact Kähler surface of zero scalar curvature evaluates the cohomologies \(H^ 0(M, {\mathcal O}(K^ i_ M))\) \(i = 1,2\) and \(H^ 2(M, {\mathcal O}(T^{1,0} _ M))\).
