Local densities of quadratic forms are important invariants in the theory of quadratic forms and they appear in Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series. But it is not easy to evaluate them. To study their properties, it is desirable to look for relations among them, and it is known that there are many relations [3], but they are not concise. We consider a different kind of relations here and improve a result of Zharkovskaja [8, 9] in the case of Eisenstein series as an application.
