In this paper it is shown that the computation of higher dimensional harmonic volume, defined in [1], can be reduced to Harris' computation in the onedimensional case (See [3]), so that higher dimensional harmonic volume may be computed essentially as an iterated integral. We then use this formula to produce a specific smooth curve , namely a specific double cover of the Fermat quartic, so that the image of the second symmetric product of in its Jacobian via the Abel-Jacobi map is algebraically inequivalent to the image of under the group involution on the Jacobian.
