          Application No. 08/510,730                                                  


                                                                                     
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The invention is directed to a photo conductive imaging                
          member having a photo generating layer.  This layer contains a              
          specific mixture of hydroxy gallium phthalocyanine and                      
          tetrafluoro hydroxy gallium phthalocyanine.  Each of five                   
          specified types of tetrafluoro hydroxy gallium phthalocyanine               
          is characterized by x-ray powder diffraction traces having                  
          major and minor peaks characterized by specific Bragg angles.               
                                      THE CLAIM                                       
               Claim 1 is illustrative of appellants' invention and is                
          reproduced below.

          trace having a major peak at Bragg angles of 7.5, and minor                 
          peaks at 9.1, 15.6, 16.5, 19.5, 21.8, 22.6, and 27.3 degrees                
          21, Type IV tetrafluoro hydroxygallium phthalocyanine with an               

                                          2
