Abstract: Given a transversely projective foliation $\mathcal F$on a $C^\infty$ manifold $M$ and a nonnegative integer $k$, a transversal differential operator ${\mathcal D}_{\mathcal F}(2k+1)$ of order $2k+1$ from $N^{\otimes k}$ to $N^{\otimes (-k-1)}$ is constructed, where $N$ denotes the normal bundle for the foliation. There is a natural homomorphism from the space of all infinitesimal deformations of the transversely projective foliation $\mathcal F$ to the first cohomology of the locally constant sheaf over $M$ defined by the kernel of the operator ${\mathcal D}_{\mathcal F}(3)$. On the other hand, from this first cohomology there is a homomorphism to the first cohomology of the sheaf of holomorphic sections of $N$. The composition of these two homomorphisms coincide with the infinitesimal version of the forgetful map that sends a transversely projective foliation to the underlying transversely holomorphic foliation.
