Wormhole solutions can arise from the third-rank field strength H/sub ..mu..//sub ..nu..//sub rho/ which has a gluon anomaly. The superstring axion has this property. The effect of these wormholes on axion cosmology is studied. To save the superstring axion energy-density problem, theta-bar is /similar to/10/sup -3/ or ..lambda../sub 0//sup 1/4/ is /similar to/10 keV at the QCD chiral-symmetry-breaking scale.
