The main aim of this paper is to study the convergence of a sequence of contractions in a generalized metric space. More specifically, we investigate the following question:

"If a sequence of contractions {fr} with fixed points ur (r = 1,2,...) converges to a mapping f with a fixed point u, under what conditions will the sequence ur converge to u?"

A partial answer to the above question has been given in metric spaces by Bonsall [1]. This result has since been improved by Russell and Singh [6]. Further results will now be given in a generalized metric space.
