For the twice-punctured unit disc Ωp = {z: |z| < 1, z ≠ ±p}, where 0 < p < 1, we obtain precise descriptions for p near 0 of various parameters associated with the uniformisation of Ωp by the upper half-plane U = {τ: Im τ > 0}. These parameters include the hyperbolic length of the geodesic surrounding ±p, the so-called “accessory parameters”, and the “proximity parameter” which determines the behaviour of the hyperbolic density near the punctures of Ωp.
