Major and trace elements have been determined by wavelength dispersive X‐ray fluorescence and by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‐OES), in the Geological Survey of Japan Igneous rock series, using a routine sample preparation technique including lithium borate fusion. Samples were analysed for 10 majors elements and the following trace elements: Ba, Co, Cr, Ga, Nb, Sc, Sr, V, Y, Zn and Zr. The rare‐earth elements were determined only by ICP‐OES following separation by ion exchange. In most cases, results compared well with published values.
