#### Abstract

The explicit formula for the hyperbolic metric ${\lambda}_{{\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma}}(z){\mid}dz{\mid}$ on the thrice-punctured sphere $\mathbb{P}{\backslash}\{0,1,{\infty}\}$ with singularities of order 0 < ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ < 1, ${\gamma}{\leq}1$, ${\alpha}+{\beta}+{\gamma}$ > 2 at 0, 1, ${\infty}$ was given by Kraus, Roth and Sugawa in [9]. In this article we investigate the asymptotic properties of the higher order derivatives of ${\lambda}_{{\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma}}(z)$ near the origin and give more precise descriptions for the asymptotic behavior of ${\lambda}_{{\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma}}(z)$.
