1. Introduction
Let f be a meromorphic function in the closure of the half-strip
S = {s = a + it : a > 0, 0 < t < 2n}.
Suppose f has neither zeros nor poles on dS, and f (a) = f (a + 2ni), a > 0. Denote by {sj} the zero sequence of function f in S, Sj = aj + itj, by {pj} the sequence of its poles in S.
Let S * be the strip S with the straight slits {raj + itj}, {t Re pj + i Im pj}, 1 ^ t < to.
Given So E S*, suppose log f (s0) is well-defined and let
The following Lemma is a counterpart of Jensen-Littlewood Theorem ([1]).

Lemma 1. [2] Let f be a meromorphic function in the closure of half-strip S,
f (a) = f (a + 2ni), a > 0. Then
N(^ 1) - N(a, f) = c0(— f) - —C0(a0, f) + (— - l)Co(0, f), f a0 a0
a > a0 > 0. (4)
The Nevanlinna characteristic of such functions was defined in [2] as
T (a, f) = m0(a, f) - — m0(a0, f) + ( — - A m0(0, f) + N (a, f), a > a0 > 0,
a0 a0

Definition 1. A positive non-decreasing continuous unbounded function A (a) defined for all a > a0 > 0 is said to be a growth function.
Definition 2. Let A (a) be a growth function and f be a meromorphic function in S, such that f (a + 2ni) = f (a), a > a0 > 0. We say that f is of finite A-type if T (a, f) ^ AA(a + B), a > a0 for some constants A > 0, B > 0 and all a, a > a0 > 0.
We denote by A the class of meromorphic functions of finite A-type in S and AH the class of holomorphic functions of finite A-type in S.
In this paper we describe the zero sequences of holomorphic functions in AH, as well as zero and pole sequences of meromorphic functions in A.
For entire and meromorphic in C functions similar problems were solved by L. Rubel and B. Taylor ([3]), for holomorphic and meromorphic functions in a punctured plane the same was done by A. Kondratyuk and I. Laine ([4]).

Definition 3. A sequence Q = {sj} from S has a finite A- density if
N (a, Q) ^ AA(a + B)
for some positive constants A, B and all a, a > a0 > 0.
Definition 4. A sequence Q = {sj} from S is said to be A-admissible if it has finite A-density
and there are positive constants A, B such that

Theorem 2 in [2] implies that the sequence Q has a finite A-density. Hence, it is A-admissible. Let now Q = {sj} be A-admissible. Then the sequence Z = {zj}, Zj = eSj E C, is Ai-admissible in C, where Ai(r) = A(log r). By the Rubel-Taylor Theorem [3, p. 84], (see also [5, p. 29]), there exists an entire function F(z) of finite Ai-type with zero sequence Z = {zj}. Therefore, the function f (s) = F(es) is holomorphic of finite A-type in S with the zero sequence
{sj}. □
Theorem 2. A sequence Q in S is the zero sequence of a function in A if and only if it has finite A-density.
Proof. If Q = {sj} is the zero sequence of a function f, f E A, then from [2], we have
N (a, Q) = N (a, f ^ T (a, f) ^ BA(a + C),
for all a ^ a0 > 0 and some B, C > 0.
Let now Q = {sj} be a sequence of finite A-density. Then the sequence Z = {zj}, Zj = esj, has the finite Ai-density if Ai(r) = A(logr). By the Rubel-Taylor Theorem [3, p. 88] (see also [5, p. 35]) there exist a meromorphic function F of finite Ai-type with zero sequence Z. The function f (s) = F(es) is the meromorphic of finite A-type in S with zero sequence {sj}. □
Corollary 1. A sequence P = {pj} is the pole sequence of a function f from A if and only if it has finite A-density.
Proof. Apply Theorem 2 to the function i.
