 note = {Detailed procedures of sample processing including preparation of a 1: 10 dilution glass bead and evaluations of calibration lines of the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for major element compositions of igneous rock samples are presented. We used 11 igneous rock standard samples of the Geological Survey of Japan and the synthetic material for the calibration. A powdered rock sample ignited at 900 ° C for four hours and lithium tetraborate as an alkali flux ignited at 700 ° C for four hours are weighed 0.4000 ± 0.0001 g and 4.0000 ± 0.0001 g, respectively. The mixture of rock powder sample and lithium tetraborate is put into a platinum crucible and fused to a glass bead. The calibration lines for basalts and andesites named "Major12" analyze 10 major elements such as Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Na, K and P in 10 minutes. The result of repeated analyses of six standard materials shows that the relative standard deviations are less than 3% and relative errors are less than 1.2%. Therefore, the calibration lines "Major12" are sufficient to be applied to routine measurement of igneous rocks. For analysis of ultramafic rocks, another set of calibration lines "majorOl'' was made based on standard samples including synthesized materials of SiO, and MgO reagents, and the calibration lines cover wider Si, Mg, Ni and Cr ranges than "Major12". The calibration lines "majorOl'' successfully reproduced concentrations of nine major element compositions (Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Ni, Cr) of the standard samples of ultramafic rocks.},
