Consider Zeeman's family of maps of the first quadrant \(Q\): \(\varphi: Q\to Q\), \(\varphi: (x,y)\mapsto (y, \frac{y+a}{x})\) for which the function \[ H(x,y)= \frac{(x+1) (y+1) (x+y+a)} {xy} \] is an integral of \(\varphi\). Let \(\rho(h)\) be the rotation number of the map \(\varphi|_{H^{-1}(h)}\). The paper deals with the monotonicity property of \(\rho(h)\), which in turn implies the authors prove, a conjecture of Zeeman.
