Summary:
We characterize Weilian prolongations of natural bundles from the viewpoint of certain recent general results. First we describe the iteration $F(EM)$ of two natural bundles $E$ and $F$. Then we discuss the Weilian prolongation of an arbitrary associated bundle. These two auxiliary results enables us to solve our original problem.
