Let f(z) denote a rational or entire function of the complex variable z and fn(z), n = 1,2, …, the n−th iterate of f. Provided f is not rational of order 0 or 1, the set of those points where {fn(z)} forms a normal family is a proper subset of the plane and is invariant under the map z → f(z). A component G of is a wandering domain of f if fn(G)∩fn(G) = Ø for all k ≧ 1, n ≧ 1, kn. The paper contains the construction of a transcendental entire function which has wandering domains.
