1. For an entire function , let M(r, f), μ(r, f), and v(r, f) denote the maximum modulus, the maximum term, and the rank for |z\ = r, respectively. Also, let

and λ(r) the lower proximate order relative to log M(r, f). For the properties of the lower proximate order, we refer the reader to the paper by Shah (1).

2. We prove the following theorems.

THEOREM 1. For an entire function

where μ(r, f1) and M(r, f1) correspond to fl(z), the derivative of f(z), provided (n + l)Rn > nRn+1, when L(f) > 1.
