AB - The notion of the “volume" of a leaf in a foliated space is defined. If $L$ is a compact leaf, then any leaf entering a small neighbourhood of $L$ either has a very large volume, or a volume which is approximatively an integral multiple of the volume of $L$. If all leaves are compact there are three related objects to study. Firstly the topology of the quotient space obtained by identifying each leaf to a point ; secondly the holonomy of a leaf ; and thirdly whether the leaves have a locally bounded volume. We prove various implications relating these concepts and we also give some counterexamples. We give a proof of the result, published by Ehresmann without proof, that in a foliated manifold, if a compact leaf has arbitrarily small neighbourhoods, which are saturated by the leaves, then its holonomy is finite.
