      The authors consider the following diophantine equations \[ \begin{aligned} 25m^8-y^4 \pm 8y^2= 16,\;25m^4(m+1)^4- 16y^4\pm 128y^2= 256,\\ 25(px^2\pm 1)^4- y^4\pm 8y^2= 16,\;25(px^3 \pm 1)^4-y^4 \pm 8y^2= 16. \end{aligned} \] They observe that the complete set of integer solutions of the diophantine equations \(25x^4- y^4\pm 8y^2 =16\) are \(x= \pm F_n\), \(y= \pm L_n\), i.e., the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. Then by using the results of \textit{J. H. E. Cohn} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 39, 537-540 (1964; Zbl 0127.26705)], \textit{M. Luo} [Fibonacci Q. 27, No. 2, 98-108 (1989; Zbl 0673.10007)] and \textit{N. Robbins} [Applications of Fibonacci numbers, Vol. 2, Kluwer Acad. Publ., Dordrecht, 77-88 (1988; Zbl 0647.10013)] about the Fibonacci numbers of the forms of \(k^2\), \(k(k+1)/2\), \(pk^2\pm 1\) and \(pk^3 \pm 1\) respectively, they find all integer solutions of the diophantine equations mentioned above.
