Consider the positive and twice continuously differentiable solutions u of the heat equation

in an open t-strip Ω = Rn×(0,T) for some T>0, where Rn is the n-dimensional Euclidean space.

In this note, we prove a theorem of Fatou type on u and, as its application, the uniqueness theorem for the Cauchy problem of ( 1 ).
