  We evaluate the valence approximation to the mass of scalar quarkonium for a
range of different parameters. Our results strongly suggest that the infinite
volume continuum limit of the mass of $s\overline{s}$ scalar quarkonium lies
well below the mass of $f_J(1710)$. The resonance $f_0(1500)$ appears to the
best candidate for $s\overline{s}$ scalar quarkonium.
