1 Introduction In the theory of normal families, Marty’s theorem says that a family F of functions meromorphic in a domain D ⊂ C is normal if and only if the set { f # : f ∈ F} of spherical derivatives is locally uniformly bounded in D, where the spherical derivative f # is defined by f # (z) :=

| f  (z)| . 1 + | f (z)|2

Thus for a given normal family F of functions meromorphic in the unit disk (0, 1) = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1}, there exists a constant M = M(F) such that f # (0) ≤ M for all functions f ∈ F. The constant M corresponding to the Montel’s normal family F0 , i.e., the family of holomorphic functions satisfying f = 0, 1 in the unit disk (0, 1), has been obtained 4 (1/4) . = 4.37688. by Bonk and Cherry [1]; they showed that the best value is M0 =  4π 2 Here, we focus on the constant M corresponding to the Miranda’s normal family F1 [4], i.e., the family of holomorphic functions satisfying f = 0 and f  = 1 in the unit disk (0, 1). We obtain the following result: Theorem 1.1 Let f be a holomorphic function in the unit disk (0, 1) such that f (z) = 0 and f  (z) = 1. Then f # (0) < 583. And for z ∈ (0, 1), (1 − |z|)2 f # (z) < 583.

We remark that from the following example given by Hayman and Storvick [3]  f (z) = 2(1 − z) exp

one can see that there exist functions in the Miranda’s normal family F1 such that sup (1 − |z|) f # (z) = +∞.

|z| −1.   We need some notation and basic results. First we define the function xy by   x (x + 1) = , (x > −1, y > −1, x − y > −1), y (y + 1)(x − y + 1)

and has the property that (x + 1) = x(x). In particular, for a positive integer y,   x x(x − 1) · · · (x − y + 1) = y y! is a polynomial in x (of degree y). Thus if y is a positive integer, then     −x − 1 x+y = . (−1) y y y

Also note that if both x, y are positive integers and x < y, then We also use the Beta function  B(x, y) =
