Abstract
We have measured the valence pion mass and the valence chiral condensate on lattice configurations generated with and without dynamical fermions. We find that our data and that of others is well represented by a linear relationship between $m_{\pi}^2$ and the valence quark mass, with a non-zero intercept. For our data, we relate the intercept to finite volume effects visible in the valence chiral condensate. We see no evidence for the singular behavior expected from quenched chiral logarithms.
