My earlier investigations in the field of diseases of the bones led me to approach the problem of otosclerosis from the standpoint of bone pathology. I have now arrived at the following conclusion : Otosclerosis represents a definite pathologic bone picture and from the features peculiar to this picture certain conclusions can be drawn as to its experimental reproduction.

"BONE PICTURE"

What, in General, Does the Term "Bone Picture" Designate?—The normal bone is a conglomeration of single elements. Each of these elements represents a definite stage of the development of bone in respect to its phylogenesis and ontogenesis. These phases, arranged according to the time of their appearance, result in an ascending scale. Thus, this series represents all the stages in the development of bony tissue (fig. 1). Five "time phases" may be distinguished morphologically:

1. 1. The fundamental stage, i. e., the mesenchymal tissue.
   
2. 2. The stage of
