Highly excited negative parity baryons in the $1/N_c$ expansion
  The masses of experimentally known highly excited baryons of negative parity supposed to belong to the $[{\bf 70},\ell^-]$ multiplets ($\ell$ = 1,2,3) of the $N = 3$ band are calculated in the $1/N_c$ expansion method to order $1/N_c$ by using a procedure which allows to considerably reduce the number of linearly independent operators entering the mass formula. The numerical fits to present data show that the coefficients encoding the QCD dynamics have large, comparable values, for the flavor and spin operators. It implies that these operators contribute dominantly to the flavor-spin SU(6) symmetry breaking, like for the $[{\bf 70},1^-]$ multiplet of the $N = 1$ band.
