The present report on spaces of holomorphic mappings was prepared for
the Sexto Coloquio Brasileiro de Matematica (Po os de Caldas, Minas
Gerais, Brazil, July 1967). I also had the oppor- tunity of giving a
series of lectures on this material while I was a visiting member at the
Center for Theoretical Studies of the University of Miami (Coral Gables,
Florida, USA, February 1968). The preparation of this report was
sponsored in part by the USA National Science Foundation through a grant
to the University of Rochester. I am glad to thank Professors Paul R.
Halmos and Peter J. Hilton for accepting my text as part of the series
