title: The life-span of mammals.
abstract: Various parameters in the life cycle of mammals were investigated to find a possible correlation between these parameters and the life-span. Twenty-two factors were calculated to determine the true life-span of any mammal. In addition a single formula, by means of which the life-span could be determined, was constructed. The life-spans of certain species, as calculated by means of the formula, are compared with authorative estimates.
