In this work we deal with algebraic properties of some fields of functions meromorphic in the complex plane with a view to determining the possible isomorphisms between two such fields. Interest in problems of this type began with a paper by Bers (2), in which it was shown that the algebraic structure of the ring of functions analytic on a plane region determines the conformai structure of the region to within conformai or anti-conformal equivalence, and this result was later extended to arbitrary non-compact Riemann surfaces by Nakai (7).
