The rth generalized Hamming weight d(r)(m,j) of the Goethals code g(m)
(j) of length 2(m) over Z(4) is considered in this correspondence. Zn
the case that m greater than or equal to 3 is an odd integer, d(r)(m,j
) is exactly determined for r = 0.51 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3.0. For a co
mposite m, we give an upper bound d(r)(m,j) using the lifting techniqu
