Using Fourier transforms, we give a new proof of certain identites for the fundamental solutions of the iterated Dirac operators and l = (Σ/Σx0 + )l. Based on the close relationship between the fundamental solutions and the conformal weights we then give a simple proof of B. Bojarski's results on the conformal covariance of l. We also prove a new conformal covatiance result of D.
