Suppose that f is meromorphic in the plane, and that there is a sequence Zn → ∞ and a sequence of positive numbers ∈n → 0, such that ∈n|zn|f#(zn)/log|zn| → ∞. It is shown that if f is analytic and non-zero in the closed discs Δn = {z: |z – zn| ≦∈n|zn|}, n = 1, 2, 3 …, then, given any positive integer K, there are arbitrarily large values of n and there is a point z in Δn such that │f (z)| 〉 |Zk. Examples are given to show that the hypotheses cannot be relaxed.
