Description
We show that excitations in a recently proposed gauge theory for anyons on a line in fact do not obey anomalous statistics. On the other hand, the theory supports novel chiral solitons. Also we construct a field-theoretic description of lineal anyons, but gauge fields play no role. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
