In recent papers with S. S. Chern [3] and T.Ishihara [4], the author studied both the volume—and distance—decreasing properties of harmonic mappings thereby obtaining real analogues and generalizations of the classical Schwarz-Ahlfors lemma, as well as Liouville’s theorem and the little Picard theorem. The domain M in the first case was the open ball with the hyperbolic metric of constant negative curvature, and the target was a negatively curved Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded away from zero. In this paper, it is shown that M may be taken to be any complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive curvature.
