Summary:
For integers $r\ge 2$ and $n\ge 2$ a complete classification of all natural operators $A:T_{\vert M_n}\rightsquigarrow T(J^rT^*)^*$ lifting vector fields to vector fields on the natural bundle $(J^rT^*)^*$ dual to $r$-jet prolongation $J^rT^*$ of the cotangent bundle over $n$-manifolds is given.
