    We discuss geometric constructions transforming r-th order semiholonomic or nonholonomic jets into holonomic ones.

    We describe all bundle functors G admitting natural operators transforming r-th order holonomic connections on a fibered manifold $Y\to M$ into r-th order holonomic connections on $GY\to M$. For second order holonomic connections we classify all such natural operators.

    Using Weil algabra techniques, we determine all finite dimensional homomorphic images of germs of foliation respecting maps.

    We prove general reduction theorems for gauge natural operators transforming principal connections and classical linear connections on the base manifold into sections of an arbitrary gauge natural bundle. Then we apply our results to the principal prolongation of connections. Finally we describe all such gauge natural operators for some special cases of a Lie group G.

    Using the theory of Weil algebras, we describe the composition of two product preserving bundle functors on the category of fibered manifolds with m-dimensional bases and fiber preserving maps with local diffeomorphisms as base maps. Then we deduce certain interesting geometric properties of the natural transformations of some of the iterated functors.
