     This  Statement  relates  to  the  Common  Stock,  $.01  par  value, (the
"Shares")  of  Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("CTRX") a Delaware Corporation. 
CTRX's  principal  executive  office  is  located at 3055 Patrick Henry Drive,
Santa  Clara,  CA  95054-1815.

     In  reliance  of  Rule  13d-a(b)(1)(ii)(E),  Dawson-Samberg  Capital
Management,  Inc.  ("Dawson-Samberg")  will  hereafter  be filing a short form
statement  on  Schedule 13G annually in lieu of Schedule 13D or any amendments
thereto  covering  the  securities  that  are  the  subject  of  this  report.

ITEM  2.    IDENTITY  AND  BACKGROUND

     This statement is being filed on behalf of Dawson-Samberg, a Connecticut
corporation  and  Pequot  Private  Equity  Partners, LLC ("Equity Partners") a
limited liability company formed under the laws of Delaware (collectively, the
"Reporting  Persons"). The principal business of Dawson-Samberg, an investment
adviser  registered  under  the  Investment Advisers Act of 1940, is to act as
investment  adviser  to  certain  managed accounts.  The executive officers of
Dawson-Samberg  are Messrs. Jonathan T. Dawson, Arthur J. Samberg and Amiel M.
Peretz, the directors are Messrs. Dawson and Samberg and Ms. Sheila J. Clancy,
and the controlling shareholders are Messrs. Dawson and Samberg (collectively,
the  "Executive  Officers, Directors and Controlling Persons").  The principal
business  of  Equity  Partners  is  to  serve as the general partner of Pequot
Private  Equity  Fund,  L.P.  ("Private Equity"), a limited partnership formed
under  the  laws  of  Delaware to invest and trade primarily in securities and
financial  instruments,  and to serve as investment manager of Pequot Offshore
Private  Equity  Fund,   Inc. ("Offshore Private Equity") a corporation formed
under  the  laws  of  British  Virgin Islands to invest and trade primarily in
securities  and  financial  instruments.  Messrs.  Dawson and Samberg are both
members  of    Equity Partners.  The business address of the Reporting Persons
and  the  Executive  Officers, Directors and Controlling Persons is 354 Pequot
Avenue,  Southport,  CT  06490.

     Neither  of  the  Reporting Persons nor the Executive Officers, Directors
and  Controlling Persons have, during the last five years, been convicted in a
criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

     Neither  of  the  Reporting Persons nor the Executive Officers, Directors
and  Controlling  Persons  have,  during  the last five years, been a party to
civil  proceeding  of  a  judicial  or  administrative  body  of  competent
jurisdiction  which  resulted  in  a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or  mandating  activities subject to
federal  or  state securities or laws or finding any violation with respect to
such  laws.    Each  of  the Executive Officers, Directors and the Controlling
Persons  are  citizens  of  the  United  States.

ITEM  3.    SOURCE  AND  AMOUNT  OF  FUNDS  OR  OTHER  CONSIDERATION

     No  Change.


ITEM  4.    PURPOSE  OF  TRANSACTION

     No  Change.


ITEM  5.    INTEREST  IN  SECURITIES  OF  THE  ISSUER

     As  of the date hereof, Dawson-Samberg beneficially owns in the aggregate
1,755,688 Shares.  These Shares represent approximately 8.3% of the 21,061,053
Shares the Reporting Persons believe to be outstanding. Dawson-Samberg has the
sole power to vote, direct the vote, dispose and direct the disposition of all
of the 1,755,688 Shares.  Equity Partners does not currently have the power to
vote,  direct  the  vote,  dispose and direct the disposition of the 1,640,688
Shares  which  were  the  subject of the original filing by Equity Partners as
Private  Equity  and Offshore Private Equity may no longer acquire such powers
within  60  days.    Therefore,  this  filing  eliminates Equity Partners as a
Reporting  Person.    There were no transactions in the Shares effected during
the  past  60  days  by  the  Reporting  Persons.


ITEM  6.    CONTRACTS,  ARRANGEMENTS,  UNDERSTANDINGS  OR  RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT  TO  SECURITIES  OF  THE  ISSUER

            No  Change.


ITEM  7.    MATERIAL  TO  BE  FILED  AS  EXHIBITS

     A copy of a written agreement relating to the filing of a joint statement
as  required  by  Rule  13d-1(f)  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  A.



     After  a  reasonable  inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
the  undersigned  certify  that the information set forth in this statement is
true,  complete  and  correct.
