Abstract: In this article we study Cantor sets defined by monotone sequences, in the sense of Besicovich and Taylor. We classify these Cantor sets in terms of their $ h$-Hausdorff and $ h$-packing measures, for the family of dimension functions $ h$, and characterize this classification in terms of the underlying sequences.
