Dear All
I have 4 population cages of D. melanogaster that have bee maintained on a
medium containing common salt (NaCl) for many years
Current concentrations of salt in the medium are
5 g/100ml,  6 g/100ml,  7.5 g/100ml, 9.5 g/100ml.
The 5% and 7.5% cages were started in February, 1966 at lower
concentrations, and then increasing concentrations to the above levels.
The 6% cage was started in June, 1966 and the 9.5% cage in September, 1978
from the 7.5% cage (then at 4.5%) and from the 7.5% cage (then at 7.5%)
respectively.

Any or all populations are available to anyone who wants them.
I am away all next week, will reply to any responses on my return, and if
there are no responses, the cages will be discarded in 3 weeks time.
