Mass Spectrum of a Baryon Octet is Linear
  It is argued that the mass spectrum of a baryon octet is linear, consistent with a Gell-Mann--Okubo type relation for the squared masses of the baryons obtained previously by Bal\'{a}zs and Nicolescu. The mass spectrum of a baryon decuplet is briefly discussed.
