Abstract: Let $K$ denote the middle third Cantor set and $calA:=3^n:n=0,1,2,>\mathrm{...}$. Given a real, positive function $psi$ let $W_{calA}(psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ in the unit interval for which there exist infinitely many $$ such that $|x-p/q|<psi(q)$. The analogue of the Hausdorff measure version of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture is established for $W_{calA}(psi)capK$. One of the consequences of this is that there exist very well approximable numbers, other than Liouville numbers, in $K$ -- an assertion attributed to K. Mahler.
