Subject: 224'th update on fly longevity experiments

     This is the 224'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
 temperature was 23.9 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
 the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 96 days.
     This run retested ginkgo biloba, and terminalia arjuna. This time
 around ginkgo turned out to be a dud. However high dose terminalia arjuna
 increased median lifespan a bit, and so looks worth investigating
 further.
