The reflectances of lithium triborate (LBO) crystals in the range 55--71 eV have been measured and the principal values of the optical constants are derived. Five transitions in this spectral region are observed and their oscillator strengths and matrix elements {l_angle}{ital x}{r_angle},{l_angle}{ital y}{r_angle},{l_angle}{ital z}{r_angle} are determined. LBO is strongly anisotropic in this region and its energy levels are mainly determined by the Li ion.
