We consider the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator under the homogeneous Neumann condition on a spherical domain. Especially, we investigate the case when the domain is a large zonal one and letting the zone larger so that the zone covers the whole sphere as a limit. We discuss the behavior of eigenvalues according to the rate of expansion of the zone.
