Let H be a finite dimensional non-semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. If H has no nontrivial skew-primitive elements, some bounds are found for the dimension of H1, the second term in the coradical filtration of H. Using these results, it is shown that every Hopf algebra of dimension 14 is semisimple and thus isomorphic to a group algebra or the dual of a group algebra. Also a Hopf algebra of dimension pq where p and q are odd primes with p < q
1 + 3p and q
13 is semisimple and thus a group algebra or the dual of a group algebra. Some partial results in the classification problem for dimension 16 are also given.
