Abstract
Total derivative terms play an important role in the integration of conformal anomaly. In four dimensional space there is only one such term, namely . In the case of six dimensions the structure of surface terms is more complicated, and it is useful to construct a basis of linear independent total derivative terms. We briefly review the general scheme of integrating anomaly and present the reduction of the minimal set of the surface terms in from eight to seven.

Modified and seriously extended version, prepared for submission to a journal. The extention mainly concerns the origins of the identity which restricts the surface terms
