Carbon dioxide and graphitic carbon in olivine crystals from dunite nodules in the 1801 lava flow of the Hualalai Volcano, Hawaii were extracted by three methods, i.e., the pyrolysis under oxygen atmo sphere, the ball-milling and the dissolution with hydrochloric acid. It is concluded that most of C02 extracted by the oxidative pyrolysis was derived from fluid inclusions , by comparing the isotopic ratios of C02 released by the oxidative pyrolysis and the ball-milling. Graphitic carbon was recovered from the evaporation residue after olivine crystals were dissolved in hydrochloric acid. The averaged concentration of C02 extracted by the oxidative pyrolysis was 0.87pmole/g and 613C value was -3.20/00. These of graphitic carbon were 0.51pmole/g and -26 .90/00, respectively, No apprecia ble amount of hydrogen-bearing species such as H2, H20, CH4, higher hydrocarbons and H2S was detected in olivine crystals by both the oxidative pyrolysis and the ball-milling. Assuming all the extracted carbon is present in fluid inclusions in olivine crystals and the disproportionation reaction of CO (2C0 _+ C02 + C) has occurred in inclusions, we conclude that the major carbon-bearing species in the mantle beneath the Hawaiian Islands are CO and C02, and the CO/CO2 ratio is estimated to be about 3 on the basis of the experimental data and that the 513C value of the carbon in upper mantle below the Hawaiian Islands is around -12%o. Some additional data on Japanese olivines suggest that the 813C value of the mantle carbon may not be unique throughout the mantle.
