In this paper we consider the value distribution of a meromorphic function whose behaviour is prescribed along a spiral. The existence of extremely wild holomorphic functions is established. Indeed a very weak form of one of our results would be that there are holomorphic functions (in the unit disc or the plane) for which every curve “tending to the boundary” is a Julia curve.

The theorems in this paper generalize results of Gavrilov [7], Lange [9], and Seidel [11].

I wish to express my thanks to Professor W. Seidel for his guidance and encouragement.

2. Preliminaries. For the most part we will be dealing with the metric space (D, ρ) where D is the unit disc, |z| < 1, and ρ is the non-Euclidean hyperbolic metric on D. The chordal metric on the Riemann sphere will be denoted by x.
