Numerical range theory for linear operators on normed linear spaces and for elements of normed algebras is now firmly established and the main results of this study are conveniently presented by Bonsall and Duncan in (1971) and (1973). An extension of the spatial numerical range for a class of operators on locally convex spaces was outlined by Moore in (1969) and (1969a), and an extension of the algebra numerical range for elements of locally m-convex algebras was presented by Giles and Koehler (1973). It is our aim in this paper to contribute further to Moore's work by extending the concept of spatial numerical range to a wider class of operators on locally convex spaces.
