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.
