Abstract: Several refinements of Picard's theorem for entire functions in the complex plane have been proved by many authors in connection with the theory of Picard sets. We prove a result of this type for entire quasiregular mappings in euclidean -space in the case when the "Picard set" consists of a sequence ${a_k}$ on a ray emanating from 0 with $\vert{a_k}\vert = {2^k}$ .
