Abstract: Given a hyperelliptic hyperbolic surface $S$ of genus $ggeq2$, we find bounds on the lengths of homologically independent loops on $S$. As a consequence, we show that for any $lambdain(0,1)$ there exists a constant $N(lambda)$ such that every such surface has at least $lceillambdacdotfrac23gceil$ homologically independent loops of length at most $N(lambda)$, extending the result in [Mu] and [BPS]. This allows us to extend the constant upper bound obtained in [Mu] on the minimal length of non-zero period lattice vectors of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces to almost $frac23g$ linearly independent vectors.
