Abstract: Let D be a starlike Lipschitz domain in ${R^n},n \geqslant 2$ . If w is a subharmonic function in D with positive harmonic majorant, then at almost every point on the boundary of D (surface measure), w has radial limit. Results on limits along certain ${C^1}$ curves in general Lipschitz domains are also obtained.
