An improvement of a lemma of Calderón and Zygmund involving singular spherical harmonic kernels is obtained and a counter-example is given to show that this result is best possible. In a particular case when the singularity is O(|log r|), let and suppose f vanishes outside of a compact subset of , N ≥ 2. Also, let k(x) be a Calderón-Zygmund kernel of spherical harmonic type. Suppose f(x) = O(|log r|) as r → 0 in the -sense. Set . Then F(x) = O(log²r) as r → 0 in the -sense, 1 < p < ∞. A counter-example is given in ℝ² where the increased singularity O(log²r) actually takes place. This is different from the situation that Calderón and Zygmund faced.
