[For the entire collection see Zbl 0732.00008.] The authors study a problem related to Brody's criterion for non- hyperbolicity of compact complex manifolds. Namely, if \(p\) is a point in the degeneracy set \(S\) of the Kobayashi pseudodistance, can a non- constant holomorphic mapping \(f: \mathbb{C}\to M\) be found such that \(p\in f(\mathbb{C})\)? The authors obtain a result which may be considered as a partial answer to this question. Using it they obtain some information about the structure of \(S\): \(S\) is pseudoconcave of order 1, and in case \(S\) is a complex analytic curve in \(M\) each irreducible component has genus \(\leq 1\).
