In 1965 Baker first considered the distribution of Julia sets of transcendental entire maps and proved that the Julia set of an entire map cannot be contained in any finite set of straight lines. In this paper we shall consider the distribution problem of Julia sets of meromorphic maps. We shall show that the Julia set of a transcendental meromorphic map with at most finitely many poles cannot be contained in any finite set of straight lines. Meanwhile, examples show that the Julia sets of meromorphic maps with infinitely many poles may indeed be contained in straight lines. Moreover, we shall show that the Julia set of a transcendental analytic self-map of ${\bf C^*}$ can neither contain a free Jordan arc nor be contained in any finite set of straight lines.
