In this paper we give an extension of (6, Theorem 1), using a similar method of proof, to every homogeneous Siegel domain of second kind which can be mapped biholomorphically into a Kâhler manifold of a certain class (Theorem 1). Then by a well-known result of Vinberg, Gindikin, and Pjateckiï-Sapiro (10) that every bounded homogeneous domain D,contained in a complex euclidean space CN,can be mapped biholomorphically onto an affinely homogeneous Siegel domain of second kind, the theorem follows for D(Theorem 2). (6, Theorem 1) is a generalization of the Ahlfors version of the Schwarz-Pick lemma in C1(1) to invariant volume for a star-like homogeneous bounded domain in CN;see also (4). In § 3 we give the inequality for a special non-symmetric Siegel domain of second kind using an explicit form of TD(z, )due to Lu (7).
