We present along-arc variation of isotopic and trace element composition for $>$2000km section of the Izu-Bonin arc including
new high-precision Pb isotope measurements. New data mainly come from the southern Izu-Bonin arc, where the Sofugan Tectonic
Line (Yuasa, 1985) intersects the volcanic front and is characterised by intra-arc rifting and thinner arc crust compared to
the north. The lavas studied are mostly low-K tholeiitic basalt and basaltic andesite. Exceptions are highly alkaline
shoshonitic rocks from Iojima and the surrounding volcanoes. Most of the volcanoes have been active in late Quaternary. A
southward decrease in $^{87}$Sr/$^{86}$Sr and increase in $^{206}$Pb/$^{204}$Pb is observed in the northern section of the
arc and this continues into the southern arc as far as 27$^{o}$N. In Pb-Pb isotope space volcanoes plot systematically closer
to the NHRL from north to south. The decoupled behavior Sr and Pb isotopes led us to propose an along-arc mantle wedge
heterogeneity prior to the addition of the slab-derived component. In terms of the slab-derived component, the overall
correlation between $^{87}$Sr/$^{86}$Sr and fluid-mobile element enrichment implies a contribution of fluid from altered
oceanic crust and pelagic sediment in the section between 35 and 27$^{o}$N. South of 27$^{o}$N, the along-arc isotopic trend
changes dramatically. Sr isotopic ratio increases southward from 27$^{o}$N, and the $^{206}$Pb/$^{204}$Pb becomes highly
radiogenic (~19.5). This isotopic signature requires involvement of component with high $^{206}$Pb/$^{204}$Pb with low
$\Delta$8/4.The volcaniclastics of the oceanic islands on the subducting Pacific Plate are a possible candidate to introduce
such a component into the mantle wedge. Lack of correlation between Nd isotopic composition and Th enrichment relative to Ce
implies that fluid, not melt, has played a major role in the source magma compositions in this segment of the arc. South of
25$^{o}$N, in the vicinity of the Iojima, the isotopic characteristics again changes significantly. $^{143}$Nd/$^{144}$Nd
decreases down to 0.51280 but the high $^{206}$Pb/$^{204}$Pb and low $\Delta8/4$ signatures are retained. The remarkable Th
enrichment associated with low $^{143}$Nd/$^{144}$Nd, $\Delta$8/4 and $\Delta$7/4 implies that melt of a high $\mu$
subductued volcaniclastics is required. In this respect the samples from ODP Hole 801, located outboard of the Mariana arc,
have a high $\mu$ volcanic sequence, and may provide a potential source for high $\mu$ signature in the arc south of
27$^{o}$N.
