  The novel observation of an exotic strangeness S=+1 baryon state at 1.54 GeV
will trigger an intensified search for this and other baryons with exotic
quantum numbers. This state was predicted long ago in topological soliton
models. We use this approach together with the new datum in order to
investigate its implications for the baryon spectrum. In particular we estimate
the positions of other pentaquark and septuquark states with exotic and with
non-exotic quantum numbers.
