    A typical point of the half-space \(H=\mathbb{R}^{n-1}\times (0,\infty )\) will be denoted by \((x^{\prime },x_{n})\). Let \((P_{\alpha }f)(x)\) denote \( \int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}\backslash \overline{H}}(x_{n}/\left| y_{n}\right| )^{\alpha /2}\left| x-y\right| ^{-n}f(y)\,dy\), under the assumption that \(P_{\alpha }\left| f\right| \not\equiv \infty \). Let \(1<p<\infty \) and \(\beta >1/p\), and let \(0<\alpha <2(1-1/p)\). \textit{R. F. Bass} and \textit{D. You} [Bull. Sci. Math. 127, 635--648 (2003; Zbl 1036.31004)] have shown that, if \(f\) is an \( L^{p}\) Hölder continuous function of order \(\beta \), then \(P_{\alpha }f\) has nontangential boundary values almost everywhere on \(\partial H\). The present paper shows that, if \(0<\gamma <\beta -1/p\), then for almost every \( \xi \in \partial H\) one actually has limits along the tangential approach region \(\{x\in H:\left| x-\xi \right| ^{1+\gamma /(n-\alpha/2)}<x_{n}\}\).
