In this paper, we have obtained the necessary and sufficient condition for
the set of points at infinity on the plane R-2 to be a periodic orbit which
is called an equatorial periodic orbit of a planar vector field X (x), and
the formulae about the multiplicity of the equatorial periodic orbit of X
(x). We have also proved-that the main result of [9] is erroneous with rega
rd to the formulae.
