We propose a new systematic fibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The new form of the theory is equivalent to the usual one but it is in harmony with the modern trends in theoretical physics and potentially admits new generalizations in different directions. In it a pure state of some quantum system is described by a state section (along paths) of a (Hilbert) fibre bundle. It's evolution is determined through the bundle (analogue of the) Schr\"odinger equation. Now the

... ynamical variables and the density operator are described via bundle morphisms (along paths). The mentioned quantities are connected by a number of relations derived in this work. In this third part of our series we investigate the bundle analogues of the conventional pictures of motion. In particular, there are found the state sections and bundle morphisms corresponding to state vectors and observables respectively. The equations of motion for these quantities are derived too. Using the results obtained, we consider from the bundle view-point problems concerning the integrals of motion. An invariant (bundle) necessary and sufficient conditions for a dynamical variable to be an integral of motion are found.
