We study Einstein's field equations in Bianchi type-III string cosmological 
models with bulk viscosity and variable cosmological term L. Exact solutions of the field equations are obtained by assuming the 
conditions: the bulk viscosity is proportional to the expansion scalar, 
x µ q, 
expansion scalar is proportional to shear scalar, q
µ s, and 
L is proportional to the Hubble parameter. 
The corresponding physical interpretations of the cosmological solutions are also discussed. PACS numbers: 04.20.Jb, 98.80.Cq UDC 524.83,
