The author states eight theorems without proof concerning normal families and Bloch functions. One theorem states five equivalent conditions for a family of holomorphic functions in the unit disk \(D\) to be normal, while another gives four equivalent statements for a holomorphic function in \(D\) to be a Bloch function. A third theorem characterizes a holomorphic function \(f\) as not a Bloch function if \(f\) has a \(\rho_B\)-sequence of points in \(D\). A sequence \(\{z_n\}\) in \(D\) with \(\lim_{n\to\infty} z_n=1\) is a \(\rho_B\)-sequence if there exist sequences \(\{q_n\}\) and \(\{M_n\}\) with \(\lim_{n\to\infty} q_n=0\) and \(\lim_{n\to\infty} M_n=\infty\) for which diameters of \(f(D(z_n,q_n))\) exceed \(M_n\) for each \(n\) where \(D(z_n,q_n)\) is a hyperbolic disk centered at \(z_n\) with radius \(q_n\). The theorems extend results of \textit{R. Aulaskari} [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 30, 299-305 (1984; Zbl 0548.30028)], \textit{S. Yamashita} [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 21, 223-227 (1980; Zbl 0424.30025)], \textit{S. Axler} [Duke Math. J. 53, 315-332 (1986; Zbl 0633.47014)] and \textit{K. Stroethoff} [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 39, 405-420 (1989; Zbl 0661.30040)].
