Bianchi type-III string cosmological models in the presence of stiff and 
anti-stiff fluids are studied. The scalar expansion is assumed to be 
proportional to the shear. In the present study, we consider two cases (i) p+r 
= 0 and (ii) p-r = 0, 
where r and p are the rest energy density and the 
pressure of the fluid, respectively. The physical behavior of these models is 
also discussed.
