Abstract

A theorem of Besicovitch, namely that, assuming the continuum hypothesis, there exists in any uncountable complete separable metric space a set of cardinality the continuum all of whose Hausdorif h-measures are zero, is here deduced by appeal to Martin's Axiom. It is also shown that for measures λ of Hausdorff type the union of fewer than 2ℵ0 sets of λ-measure zero is also of λ-measure zero; furthermore, the union of fewer than 2ℵ0 λ-measurable sets is λ-measurable.
