contents This paper is about closed hyperbolic surface amalgams with a focus on the growth of the number of closed geodesics. As in the case of surfaces, we show that topological and volume entropies coincide, but we show stark differences in how they behave according to geometric data with upper and lower bounds on the number of closed geodesics which depend on the length of the systole and the length of the pasting curves. In particular, we show that the entropy can increase exponentially in terms of the pasting length in the absence of a lower bound on the systole.
