The existence of extra chiral generations with all fermions heavier than M_Z
is strongly disfavoured by the precision electroweak data. However the data are
fitted nicely even by a few extra generations, if one allows neutral leptons to
have masses close to 50 GeV. The data allow inclusion of one additional
generation of heavy fermions in SUSY extension of Standard Model if chargino
and neutralino have masses close to 60 GeV with \Delta m =~ 1 GeV.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
It is shown that additional chiral generations are not excluded by the latest
electroweak precision data if one assumes that there is no mixing with the
known three generations. In the case of ``heavy extra generations'', when all
four new particles are heavier than $Z$ boson, quality of the fit for the one
new generation is as good as for zero new generations (Standard Model). In the
case of neutral leptons with masses around 50 GeV (``partially heavy extra
generations'') the minimum of $\chi^2$ is between one and two extra
generations.Comment: 10 pages, TeX. An additional reference and P.P.S. about heavy higgs
