282 PRIMARY FACTORS OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION. 



adaptation is accomplished and the friction is reduced 

 to a normal minimum. Then a normal articular sur- 

 face is produced. 



Second. Where the normal friction is wanting, 

 and an inflammatory condition is maintained by a pull- 

 ing stress on the investing synovial membrane, excess 

 of osseous deposit is produced. 



Third. Stress on the articular ligaments and ten- 

 dons stimulates osseous deposit at their insertions, 

 which deposit may be continued into their substance. 

 This is a pulling stress. 



These observations therefore show that osseous de- 

 posit is produced by different forms of mechanical 

 stimulus.
