Let (M,g) be a Riemannian manifold and let \(B_ m(r)\) be a small geodesic ball with center m and radius r. In [Acta Math. 142, 157-198 (1979; Zbl 0428.53017)] \textit{A. Gray} and the reviewer determined the first four nonzero coefficients in the power series expansion for the volume \(V_ m(r)\) of the ball \(B_ m(r)\). In [Compos. Math. 46, 121-132 (1982; Zbl 0489.53043)] the author determined the first two nonzero terms in the volume expansion for \(V_ m(r)\) when M is an arbitrary manifold equipped with an arbitrary metric connection D. In this paper the author considers the case of an almost Hermitian manifold and takes for D the characteristic connection. His purpose is to study the relation between the second term in the expansion and the sixteen classes of almost Hermitian manifolds determined by \textit{A. Gray} and \textit{L. Hervella} in [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl., IV. Ser. 123, 35-58 (1980; Zbl 0444.53032)]. Also, for some special compact complex manifolds, he studies the relation between this term and the spectrum of the complex Laplacian.
