The paper studies the relation between the asymptotic values of the ratios area/length ( F /L) and diameter/length ( D / L ) of a sequence of convex sets expanding over the whole hyperbolic plane. It is known that F / L goes to a value between 0 and 1 depending on the shape of the contour. In the paper, it is first of all seen that D / L has limit value between 0 and 1/2 in strong contrast with the euclidean situation in which the lower bound is 1/π ( D / L = 1/π if and only if the convex set has constant width). Moreover, it is shown that, as the limit of D / L approaches 1/2, the possible limit values of F / L reduce. Examples of all possible limits F / L and D / L are given.
