Abstract: For

d g e 4

, the Noether-Lefschetz locus

m a t h r m {N L}_{d}

parametrizes smooth, degree

d

surfaces in

m a t h b b P^{3}

with Picard number at least

2

. A conjecture of Harris states that there are only finitely many irreducible components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus of non-maximal codimension. Voisin showed that the conjecture is false for sufficiently large

d

, but is true for

d l e 5

. She also showed that for

d = 6, 7

, there are finitely many emph{reduced}, irreducible components of

m a t h r m {N L}_{d}

of non-maximal codimension. In this article, we prove that for any

d g e 6

, there are infinitely many emph{non-reduced} irreducible components of

m a t h r m {N L}_{d}

of non-maximal codimension.
