Subject: 237'th update on fly longevity experiments

     This is the 237'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.
     Maximum control survival beat the estimated maximal longevity
 slightly in this run. I attribute this to using a relatively new breeding
 bottle, that had very few older or infected flies.
     I suspected that mustard would prove to be toxic, but underestimated
 its dire potency.
