Subject: 93'rd update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 93'rd update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 20.6 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 132 days.
    In this run oxymol, and sour cherry syrups look somewhat interesting,
while rosewater appears to be toxic.

Run #93                               Percent Survival on Day
