The tendons and their sheaths seem to be but seldom the seatof predilection for calcareous deposits. Still, with the increasingpopularity of the Eontgen rays, more light may also be thrownupon the pathology and significance of this hitherto unknowndisease, for which the term tenontitis and tenontothecitis prolif-era calcarea is suggested. Wolff (Archiv fiir klinische Chirurgie, 67 Bd., Heft 2, 1902)reports a similar observation, calcareous deposits being found inthe tendon and fibrous portions of the semitendinosus patient being sixty years of age, he regards the case as oneof senile calcification. The author, however, does not believe thatthe age is of material influence upon the production of calcareou
