Abstract
For an algebraic number field with ring of integers , an important subgroup of the ideal class group is the {\it P\'{o}lya group}, denoted by , which measures the failure of the -module of integer-valued polynomials on from admitting a regular basis. In this paper, we prove that for any integer , there are infinitely many totally real bi-quadratic fields with . In fact, we explicitly construct such an infinite family of number fields. This extends an infinite family of bi-quadratic fields with P\'{o}lya group given by the authors in \cite{self-ja}. This also provides an infinite family of bi-quadratic fields with class numbers divisible by .
