Ahlfors or R. Nevanlinna, loc. cit. 6) This can be proved as follows: Let λ be the image of |z|=γf by f on the Riemann sphere. Then the complement of λ consists of a finite number of connected domains. If the southern pole lie on λ, then λ is obviously contained in the lower hemisphere on account of (3); then no point of the upper hemisphere is assumed by f in |z|<γf, for otherwise the whole upper hemisphere would be covered by the image of |z|<γf by f, which contradicts (4). So we may consider only the case where the southern pole does not lie on λ. Now let G be the one containing the southern pole among the above-mentioned domains. Then G is obviously simply connected and all the points of G are assumed by f on account of f(0)=0. Now let us suppose that λ is not contained in the lower hemisphere. Then there must exist intersection points of λ with the equator (|w|=1), for otherwise G must cover the whole lower hemisphere which is impossible on account of (4). Let us denote one of them by P and by CP the locus of the points with spherical distance π/4 from P. Then CP meets with the boundary of G, since CP is a great circle which passes through the southern pole and G cannot cover a whole hemisphere. But this is clearly impossible on account of (3). Now since λ is contained in the lower hemisphere, either all the points in the upper hemisphere or none of them are assumed by f. But the former case is impossible on account of (4).
