Let G be a group with a normal nilpotent subgroup N such that G/N is periodic and nilpotent. If G(p)/N is the Sylow p-subgroup of G/N and Q(p) is the maximal p-radicable subgroup of N, it is shown that G has a bound on the subnormal indices of its subnormal subgroups if and only if there is a positive integer c such that G(p)/Q(p) is nilpotent of class at most c, for all primes p. It is also shown that if G is a periodic metanilpotent group and Q is its maximal radicable abelian normal subgroup then G has a bound on its subnormal indices if and only if there is a positive integer c such that for all primes p the Sylow p-subgroups of G/Q are nilpotent of class at most c.
