Subject: 210'th update on fly longevity experiments

     This is the 210'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
 temperature was 24.1 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
 the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 93 days.
     In a number of previous runs carob, and decaffinated coffee have
 offered a survival advantage. As part of a continuing effort to validate
 consistent performers, this run retests these.
     To my great disappointment, in this run no advantage occurred with
 either carob or coffee.
