It is well-known in elementary calculus that if a differentiable function has a monotone increasing curvature, then its curvature is continuous and the circles of curvature at distinct points have no points in common. In particular, two one-sided osculating circles at distinct points of an arc A3 of cyclic order three have no points in common; cf. [l], [2], [3]. The conformai proof given here that any two general osculating circles at distinct points of A3 are disjoint (Theorem 1), may be of interest. We also prove that all but a countable number of points of A3 are strongly conformally differentiable (Theorem 2).
