Let $X_1, X_2, \cdots, X_n, \cdots$ be a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables with common distribution function $F$. Let $Z_n = \max \{X_1, X_2, \cdots X_n\}$. Conditions for the stability and relative stability of such sequences with the various modes of convergence have been given by Geffroy [3], and Barndorff-Nielsen [1]. The principal result of this paper is Theorem 2.1, which is an analogue for maxima of the law of the iterated logarithm for sums (Loeve [6] pages 260-1). In Section 3, it is indicated that the theorem is satisfied by a wide class of distributions, and specific forms are given for the normal and exponential distributions.
