#' \emph{Adh} allele frequencies in Australasian \emph{Drosophila melanogaster}
#' 
#' This data set contains allele frequencies for the "fast" and "slow" variants
#' of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase in Australasian (mostly Australian)
#' populations of \emph{Drosophila melanogaster}. The data are taken from
