Subject: 86'th update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 86'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 20.4 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 135 days, which is well in excess of the 74
days actually found. I used an older breeding bottle with a lot of older
flies in it this time, so overall survival was not very good.
    Deprenyl is not stable in solution so the negative results with this
are not surprising. Otherwise nothing of interest to report.
