Fifteen XYY males have been identified in Victoria over a period of ten years ending in February, 1971. Details of some have not been published to date; others have been the subject of publications, either as individuals or in small groups. This paper collates these various reports, and presents information regarding the unpublished cases. The possible effects of the extra Y chromosome on an individual are considered.
