        This is the 86'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
    temperature was 20.4 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
    the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 135 days, which is well in excess of the 74
    days actually found. I used an older breeding bottle with a lot of older
    flies in it this time, so overall survival was not very good.
        Deprenyl is not stable in solution so the negative results with this
    are not surprising. Otherwise nothing of interest to report.
