We prove that if
Si is a Souslin arc (a Hausdorff arc that is the compactification of a Souslin line) for each
i and

, then every hereditarily indecomposable subcontinuum of
X is metric. Since every non-degenerate hereditarily indecomposable continuum that is an inverse limit on metric arcs is a pseudo-arc, it follows that such an
X would be a pseudo-arc or a point.
