Time derivatives of pullbacks and push forwards along smooth curves of diffeomorphisms of sections of natural vector bundles are computed in terms of Lie derivatives along adapted non-autonomous vector fields by extending a key lemma of Mauhart and Michor [Arch. Math., Brno 28 (1992)]. There is also the analogous result about the first non-vanishing derivative of higher order.
