    This is a footnote of a recent interesting work of Cohen, Manin and Zagier, where they, among other things, produce a natural isomorphism between the sheaf of (n-1)-th order jets of the n-th tensor power of the tangent bundle of a Riemann surface equipped with a projective structure and the sheaf of differential operators of order n (on the trivial bundle) with vanishing 0-th order part. We give a different proof of this result without using the coordinates, and following the idea of this proof we prove: Take a line bundle L with L2=TL^2 = T on a Riemann surface equipped with a projective structure. Then the jet bundle Jn(Ln)J^n(L^n) has a natural flat connection with Jn(Ln)=Sn(J1(L))J^n(L^n) = S^n(J^1(L)). For any m>nm >n the obvious surjection Jm(Ln)Jn(Ln)J^m(L^n) \rightarrow J^n(L^n) has a canonical splitting. In particular, taking m=n+1m = n+1, one gets a natural differential operator of order n+1n+1 from LnL^n to Ln2L^{-n-2}.Comment: AMS-Latex file, to appear in Mathematical Research Letter
