Let
be a non-elementary Kleinian group acting on the closed n-dimensional unit ball and assume that its Poincaré series converges at the exponent
. Let M
be the
-quotient of the open unit ball. We consider certain families
= {E1, ..., Ep} of open subsets of M
such that M
\(
E
E) is compact. The sets Ei are the ends of M
and
is a complete collection of ends for M
. We associate to each end E
an
-conformal measure such that the measures corresponding to different ends are mutually singular if non-trivial. Additionally, each
-conformal measure for
on the limit set
(
) of
can be written as a sum of such conformal measures associated to ends E
. In dimension 3, our results overlap with some results of Bishop and Jones (The law of the iterated logarithm for Kleinian groups, Cont. Math. 211 (1997), 1750.).
