Finally, the 4th volume of Memiors of the Fukui Prefectual Dinosaur Museum is 
out (i mean, put on
their site for download). Don't expect much excitement, as there aren't many 
dinosaur related
papers in this years volume.
 only two actually (both in Japanese).

AZUMA, Yoichi and Masato FUJITA (2005) A report of a dinosaur footprint site in 
Yangshang,
Chaoyang, Liaoning Province, China. Mem. Fukui Pref. Dinosaur Mus. 4: 45 ? 48.
Many feathered dinosaurs have been found for the last decade from the Early 
Cretaceous of western
Liaoning, China. In this area, a dinosaur track named Jeholosauripus s -satoi 
was reported before
the
World War II by Japanese researchers. We make a brief review of their work and 
a journey to verify
the current situation of the ichno-taxon site in Ssuchiatsu, Yangshan Village, 
Chaoyang City,
Liaoning
Province.

HIROKAWA, Haruka and Ken-ichiro HISADA (2005) Development of the educational 
program on
dinosaurs. Mem Fukui Pref. Dinosaur Mus. 4: 49 ? 61.
Dinosaurs have long been the most popular animals, in various countries, among 
extinct organisms
ever lived on Earth. There are many kinds of dinosaur related products such as 
toys, etc., whereas
we
rarely see educational programs on dinosaurs in science education in Japan. For 
the Japanese
people,
dinosaurs have been the object of entertainment rather than learning or 
education. In this
research, we
have developed the educational program to learn dinosaurs in detail. First, we 
clarified the
significance
of learning about dinosaurs. Secondly, we studied what made dinosaurs 
attractive. And lastly, we
provided some programs as examples. Thus, we established some educational 
programs, by which the
significance of dinosaurs in science education was recognized. Also, by 
classifying people's
interests
toward dinosaurs, we were able to make attractiveness of dinosaurs clearer.
