  It has recently been suggested that the parity doublet structure seen in the
spectrum of highly excited baryons may be due to effective chiral restoration
for these states. We argue how the idea of chiral symmetry restoration high in
the spectrum is consistent with the concept of quark-hadron duality. If chiral
symmetry is effectively restored for highly-lying states, then the baryons
should fall into representations of $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ that are compatible
with the given parity of the states - the parity-chiral multiplets. We classify
all possible parity-chiral multiplets: (i) $(1/2,0)\oplus(0, 1/2)$ that contain
parity doublet for nucleon spectrum;(ii) $(3/2,0) \oplus (0, 3/2)$ consists of
the parity doublet for delta spectrum; (iii) $(1/2,1) \oplus (1, 1/2)$ contains
one parity doublet in the nucleon spectrum and one parity doublet in the delta
spectrum of the same spin that are degenerate in mass. Here we show that the
available spectroscopic data for nonstrange baryons in the $\sim$ 2 GeV range
is consistent with all possibilities, but the approximate degeneracy of parity
doublets in nucleon and delta spectra support the latter possibility with
excited baryons approximately falling into $(1/2,1) \oplus (1, 1/2)$
representation of $SU(2)_L\timesSU(2)_R$ with approximate degeneracy between
positive and negative parity $N$ and $\Delta$ resonances of the same spin.
