Assume the function $f(z)$ has a simple pole at $z_{0}$.
There is a theorem that states that if $C_{r}$ is an arc of the circle $|z-z_{0}| = r$ of angle $\alpha$, then $$\lim_{r \to 0} \int_{C_{r}} f(z) \, dz = i \alpha \, \text{Res}[f,z_{0}].$$
But what if $z_{0}$ is a pole of higher order? Can we say anything definitive about $ \lim_{r \to 0} \int_{C_{r}} f(z) \, dz $?
For $n \geqslant 2$, the function $\dfrac{1}{(z-z_0)^n}$ has a primitive $\dfrac{(-1)}{(n-1)(z-z_0)^{n-1}}$, so if the arc is $z_0 + re^{it}$ for $\varphi \leqslant t \leqslant \vartheta$,
$$\int_{C_r} \frac{dz}{(z-z_0)^n} = \frac{1}{(n-1)r^{n-1}}\left(e^{-i(n-1)\varphi} - e^{-i(n-1)\vartheta}\right).$$
In general, that is unbounded for $r \to 0$, but for a given $n$, there are choices of $\varphi$ and $\vartheta$ that make the integral vanish.
If the principal part of $f$ has more than one term of order $< -1$, the choices for the difference between the two angles that make the integral vanish are even more restricted.
