Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and global asymptotic stability of a periodic solution in Volterra's population system of integrodifferential equations with periodic coefficients. It is shown that if (i) the intraspecific negative feedbacks are instantaneous and dominate the interspecific effects (ii) the minimum possible growth rates are stronger than the maximum interspecific effects weighted with the respective sizes of all species, when they are near their potential maximum sizes, then the system of integrodifferential equations has a unique componentwise periodic solution which is globally asymptotically stable.
