Abstract: The charge of quasiparticles in Pfaffian states of composite fermion excitations (the presence of which is indicated by recent experiments) is found. At the filling fraction of the Pfaffian state $u=p/q$ (of the lowest Landau level) the charge is $pme/(2q)$. As in the case of the Pfaffian state of electrons the statistics of $N_{qh}$ quasiholes in the Pfaffian state corresponds to the spinor representation of $U(1)imesSO(2N_{qh})$ (the continuous extension of the braid group). Here U(1) is given by the phase factor $e^{i(1/8+frac14m)pi}$ with $m=1+alpha$, $alpha$ -- the exclusion statistics parameter of Jain quasiparticles. The possiblity of Read-Rezayi states of Jain quasiparticles is also discussed.
