Let C be a general connected, smooth, projective curve of positive genus g. For each integer i
0, we give formulae for the number of pairs (P, Q)
C x C off the diagonal such that (g + i – 1)Q - (i + 1)P is linearly equivalent to an effective divisor, and the number of pairs (P, Q)
C x C off the diagonal such that (g + i + 1)Q – (i + 1)P is linearly equivalent to a moving effective divisor.
