    Here the author describes all the irreducible components of the variety of special divisors on a general \(5\)-gonal curve. His work is based the corresponding work for \(4\)-gonal curves and general \(k\)-gonal curves, \(k \geq 5\), made respectively in [\textit{M. Coppens} and \textit{G. Martens}, Math, Nachr. 213, 35--55 (2000; Zbl 0972.14021), and Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hamburg 69, 347--371 (1999; Zbl 0957.14018)].
