  We have investigated the abundance of calcium in early-type galaxies by
measuring the strength of the Ca I 4227 absorption line in their integrated
spectra. The database used is the large sample of early-type galaxy integrated
spectra in Caldwell, Rose, & Concannon (2003). We have measured Ca abundances
from the Ca I 4227 feature both by using the Lick Ca4227 index and also by
defining a new index, Ca4227_r, that avoids the CN4216 molecular band in the
continuum on the blueward side of the line. With the new index definition we
measure Ca abundances that are systematically ~0.3 dex higher than with the
Lick Ca4227 index. The result is that with the new index definition we obtain
higher [Ca/Fe] abundances in early-type galaxies which are more consistent with
their well known [Mg/Fe] over-abundances. Hence, we suggest that Ca might be
slightly enhanced, relative to Fe, in early-type galaxies.
