For f meromorphic in the complex plane and φ meromorphic in the unit disc, sharp upper bounds are obtained for m ( r , f ( k ) f ( j ) ) = 1 2 π ∫ 0 2 π log + | f ( k ) ( r e i θ ) f ( j ) ( r e i θ ) | d θ , r < ∞ , and m ( r , ϕ ( k ) ϕ ( j ) ) = 1 2 π ∫ 0 2 π log + | ϕ ( k ) ( r e i θ ) ϕ ( j ) ( r e i θ ) | d θ r < 1 , where k and j are integers satisfying k > j ⩾ 0. The results generalize the logarithmic derivative estimate due to Gol'dberg and Grinshtein to derivatives of higher order. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 30D35.
