Subject: 164'th update on fly longevity experiments

     This is the 164'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
 temperature was 21.4 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevityusing
 the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 124 days.
     For the second run in a row, a new record longevity has been set. The
 previous record was 130 days set in run #163. This increases the record
 to 134 days, in an offical control bottle yet. Of late I've been adding
 citric acid both to breeding bottles, as well as the run bottles. The
 next run "officially" investigates these parameters on fly longevity.
