The file is imported from an external source and for some reason there
are two header rows each with a set of names for the columns.  It
would get refreshed from time to time amd I don't want to have to
remember to remove one of them by hand (its a huge file and its not
easy to get it into an editor) each time before R processing.

But the skip option suggested by the other posters did the job -
thanks to all (and it turns out the second set of names is more
English-like anyways).
