	Pink Fairy Armadillo--Ashley Whorton
		The study of the pink fairy may be beneficial to the Society for the Conservation similar to the research of the ruffed lemur by Yael Wyner found at http://www.ology.amnh.org/genetics/aroundtheworld/pages/lemur.html.
		Since the pink fairy does not do well in captivity, the longest life of a captive pink fairy being four years, it may be beneficial to determine if it could be moved somewhere where agriculture, spreading civilization and predation by domestic dogs would not interfere with its survival.
		The pink fairy armadillo is a vertebrate mammal.

	Book Reviews
		In fact, the only fairies left out are those of the standard British folk tales: Katharine Briggs is mentioned once in the introduction, but it's clear that she wasn't invited to the christening.
		Fairies, she concludes (shortly after being turned out of a particularly dowdy fairy shop in Sydney) are not what they used to be.
		Fairies were very anxious, in all the old stories, to find out if they had souls and today the boundary between fair Elfland and Heaven is still being contested.
