This paper briefly introduces twenty-one versions of garnet-biotite Fe−Mg exchange geothermometry, points out the sources of systematic errors inherent in geothermometry. The sources lie in that: (1) ideal Fe−Mg mixing in garnet and biotite is assumed; (2) non-ideal properties of both garnet and biotite are not considered completely; (3) minor elements—Mn, Ca in garnet, and AlVI, Ti, Mn in biotite are almost neglected; (4) effects of pressure on equilibrium, although little, are almost not taken into consideration, and experiments were conducted at one fixed pressure; (5) the data used for regression analysis is too scarce in quantity; (6) internal consistency of the data used for empirical calibration is not fully guaranteed; (7) the authors take energy parameters W's (Margule's parameters) independent of pressure and temperature, though the former are actually the functions of the latter items; and (8) the most important composition-activity relationship is not consistent with the mineral compositions used for calibration. Furthermore, it is believed that empirical calibrations cannot avoid the following problems: (1) effect of retrograde metamorphism; (2) inconsistent data set; (3) effect of pressure on temperature estimation; and (4) effect of Fe3+calculation. Exact experimental work should be done in order to accurately calibrate the geothermometer in which the Margule's parameters should be treated as the functions of pressure, temperature, and mineral compositions.
