The author studies volumes of hyperbolic manifolds and orbifolds, specifically he only considers cusped (that is, noncompact, finite volume) complex hyperbolic manifolds and orbifolds. He proves the following: The smallest volume of a cusped complex hyperbolic 2-manifold is \(8\pi^2/3\). Furthermore, the author improves the complex hyperbolic version of Shimizu's lemma [cf. \textit{S. Kamiya}, Hiroshima Math. J. 21, 1-21 (1991; Zbl 0721.30032) and \textit{J. R. Parker}, Int. J. Math. 3, 291-308 (1992; Zbl 0761.32014)]. By making use of this Shimizu-type lemma, the author gives some results on the lower bound of volumes of cusped hyperbolic manifolds and orbifolds. For instance, be proves the following: Let \(M\) be a finite-volume, 2-dimensional complex orbifold with \(k\)-ends. Then there are disjoint, embedded cusp neighborhoods each with volume 1/4. In particular, \(\text{Vol} (M)\geq k/4\).
