The concept of the spectrum of A relative to Q, where A and Q commute and are elements in a complex Banach algebra with identity I, was developed in [1]. A complex number z is in the Q-resolvent set of A if and only if is invertible in otherwise, z is in the Q-spectrum of A, or spectrum of A relative to Q. One result from [1] was the following.

THEOREM. Suppose no points in the ordinary spectrum of Q have unit magnitude. Let C be a simple closed rectifiable curve which lies in the Q-resolvent of A, and let
