For any sequence (aj) of complex numbers and for any ρ > ½, we construct an entire function F with the following properties. F has order ρ, mean type, each aj is a deficient value of F, and F is given by F(z)=f(g(z)), where f and g are transcendental entire functions. This complements a result of Goldstein. We also construct, for any ρ>½, an entire function G of order p, mean type, such that liminf,→ ∞ T(r, G)/T(r, G′)>1.
