According to string--five-brane duality, the Green-Schwarz factorization of the {ital D}=10 spacetime anomaly polynomial {ital I}{sub 12} into {ital X}{sub 4}{ital X8} means that just as {ital X}{sub 4} is the anomaly polynomial of the {ital d}=2 string world sheet, so {ital X}{sub 8} should be the anomaly polynomial of the {ital d}=6 five-brane world volume. To test this idea we perform a five-brane calculation of {ital X}{sub 8} and find perfect agreement with the string one-loop result.
