  A topological interpretation of the electron--electron interaction under FQHE
conditions gives rise to the existence of some kind of composite fermions. The
interaction term is similar to the Coulomb interaction and produces punctures
in the configuration space which change its topology. Now the relevant
configuration space is not simply connected and as a consequence, ``new''
fermions, so called ``exotic spinors'', appear. We argue that composite
fermions may be interpreted as exotic spinors. The denominator of the filling
factor is calculated to be an odd number. We point out further possible
relevance of exotic spinors.
