1. Preliminary results of a roentgenologic study of the long bones in 335 full term and 75 premature infants are presented.
2. Periosteal new bone occurred in 35 per cent of both groups in the absence of other Signs of bone disease.
3. The roentgen features and differential diagnosis are discussed.
4. The new periosteal bone passes through an orderly, benign conversion into a new cortex for the involved bones.
5. It seems most likely that the new bone is a roentgen manifestation of rapid periosteal bone growth.
