Volume decreasing properties of harmonic mappings of space forms were investigated by S. S. Chern and S. I. Goldberg [3] and the author. In a previous paper [6], a step toward generalization of the results was made proving the following theorem:

Theorem. Let ƒ: M —> N be a harmonic mapping of n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, with C ≦ 0. Suppose the scalar curvature of M is not less than — S, and the Ricci curvature of N is not greater than —S/n, where S ≧ 0 and S > 0 are constants. Then, if u has a maximum on M,

i.e. ƒ is volume decreasing up to a constant.
