We prove that ifD is a domain in C,α 〉 1 and C 〉 0,then the family F of functions f meromorphic in D such that ｜f′（z）｜/1 ＋ ｜f（z）｜α 〉 C for every z ∈ D is normal in D.For α = 1,the same assumptions imply quasi-normality but not necessarily normality.
Given a sequence {fn } of meromorphic functions on a plane domain D, there exists a (possibly empty) open set U■D and a subsequence {f n k } which converges uniformly (with respect to the spherical metric on ) on compact subsets of U, while no subsequence of {f n k } converges uniformly on compact subsets of any larger open subset of D.
