The anomalous properties of Fe_2TiO_4, i. e. (i) the giant magnetostriction ((c-a)/a=7.5×10^<-3> at 77K), (ii) the anomalously small elastic constant (c_<11>-c_<12>), and (iii) the positive magnetic anisotropy, are explained by taking into account both the Jahn-Teller effect of Fe^<2+> ions in the A-sites of the spinel structure and the spin-lattice coupling of Fe^<2+> ions in the B-sites. It is shown that when the direction of the Jahn-Teller distortion is determined so as to lower the energy of the coupling between the spins in the B-sites and local distortions due to the Jahn-Teller effect, the Jahn-Teller distortion itself behaves as if it were a giant magneto-striction. The temperature dependences of the distortion, elastic constants and the specific heat are calculated. It is found that (c_<11>-c_<12>) has a minimum and the excess specific heat due to the Jahn-Teller ions has a maximum below the Neel temperature. Discussions on the magnetic anisotropy constant are also given.
