Abstract: Symplectic modular invariance of the bosonic string partition function has been verified at genus 2 and 3 using the period matrix coordinatization of moduli space. A calculation of the transformation of the holomorphic part of the differential volume element shows that an extra phase arises together with the factor associated with a specific modular weight; the phase is cancelled in the transformation of the entire volume element including the complex conjugate. An argument is given for modular invariance of the reggeon measure at genus twelve.
