Streszczenie
Let $\mathcal F$ be a family of zero-free meromorphic functions in a domain $D$, let $n$, $k$ and $m$ be positive integers with $n\geq m+1$,\vadjust {\vskip 1pt} and let $a\not =0$ and $b$ be finite complex numbers. If for each $f\in \mathcal F$, $f^m+a(f^{(k)})^n-b$ has at most $nk$ zeros in $D$, ignoring multiplicities, then $\mathcal F$ is normal in $D$. The examples show that the result is sharp.
