Where has the $dy^j$ gone in the highlighted equation?

I would have thought the highlighted equation should be $\displaystyle (F^*dg)(x) = \frac{\partial F^j}{\partial x^i}(x)\frac{\partial g}{\partial y^j}(F(x))dy^j dx^i$

Hint. For a one-form $P_sdx^s$ we have the two-form $$dP=\frac{\partial P_s}{\partial y^t}dy^t\wedge dx^s.$$ Note that there are two sum indexes.
