In the theory of automorphic functions it is important to investigate the properties of the singular sets of the properly discontinuous groups. But we seem to know nothing about the size or structure of the singular sets of Kleinian groups except the results due to Myrberg and Akaza [1], which state that the singular set has positive capacity and there exist Kleinian groups whose singular sets have positive 1-dimensional measure. In our recent paper [2], we proved the existence of Kleinian groups with fundamental domains bounded by five circles whose singular sets have positive 1-dimensional measure and presented the problem whether there exist or not such groups in the case of four circles. The purpose of this paper is to solve this problem. Here we note that, by Schottky’s condition [4], the 1-dimensional measure of the singular set is always zero in the case of three circles.
