T he not e s do not pa y a fix e d c oupon a nd m a y pa y no c oupon on a pa ym e nt da t e . The amount that you will be
paid on your notes is based on the performances of the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index. The notes will mature on
the stated maturity date (September 17, 2025) unless they are automatically called on any determination date commencing in
September 2016. Your notes will be called if the closing levels of both indices on any determination date commencing in
September 2016 are greater than or equal to their respective initial levels set on the trade date, September 11, 2015 (1,157.792
with respect to the Russell 2000® Index and 1,961.05 with respect to the S&P 500® Index), resulting in a payment on the applicable
payment date (the second business day after the determination date except in the case of the final determination date, when the
payment date will be the stated maturity date) equal to the face amount of your notes plus the coupon (described below) then due.
The notes cannot be called if the closing level of either index is less than its respective initial level on a determination date.

On each determination date (the dates in March, June, September and December specified on page S-4 of this prospectus
supplement), unless previously called, if the closing levels of both indices are greater than or equal to 70.00% of their respective
initial levels, you will receive on the applicable payment date a coupon of $0.22125 for each $10 face amount of your notes. I f t he

If your notes are outstanding at maturity, the amount that you will be paid on your notes at maturity, in addition to the final coupon,
if any, is based on the performance of the lesser performing index (the index with the lowest index return). The index return for
each index is the percentage increase or decrease in the closing level of the index on the final determination date from its initial
level.

At maturity, for each $10 face amount of your notes outstanding, you will receive an amount in cash equal to:

·
if the index return of both indices is greater than or equal to -30.00% (the final level of both indices is greater than or equal to

70.00% of their respective initial levels), $10 plus the final coupon;

·
if the index return of both indices is greater than or equal to -50.00% (the final level of both indices is greater than or equal to

50.00% of their respective initial levels), but the index return of either index is less than -30.00%, $10. Y ou w ill not re c e ive

Prospectus Supplement No. 4084 dated September 11, 2015.

Table of Contents

The issue price, underwriting discount and net proceeds listed above relate to the notes we sell initially. We may decide to sell
additional notes after the date of this prospectus supplement, at issue prices and with underwriting discounts and net proceeds that
differ from the amounts set forth above. The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in notes will depend in part
on the issue price you pay for such notes.

Goldman Sachs may use this prospectus in the initial sale of the notes. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co. or any other affiliate of
Goldman Sachs may use this prospectus in a market-making transaction in a note after its initial sale. Unless Goldman Sachs or
its agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this prospectus is being used in a market-making
transaction.

Est im a t e d V a lue of Y our N ot e s

The estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date (as determined by
reference to pricing models used by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (GS&Co.) and taking into account our credit spreads) is
equal to approximately $9.38 per $10 face amount, which is less than the original issue price. The value of your notes
at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted; however, the price (not including GS&Co.'s customary
bid and ask spreads) at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell notes (if it makes a market, which it is not obligated
to do) and the value that GS&Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise is equal to approximately
$9.95 per $10 face amount, which exceeds the estimated value of your notes as determined by reference to these
models. The amount of the excess will decline on a straight line basis from the trade date through September 12, 2016.

About Y our Prospe c t us

SU M M ARY I N FORM AT I ON

We refer to the notes we are offering by this prospectus supplement as the "offered notes" or the "notes". Each of the
offered notes, including your notes, has the terms described below and under "Specific Terms of Your Notes" on page S-21.
Please note that in this prospectus supplement, references to "The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.", "we", "our" and "us" mean only
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000110465915065289/a15-18826_14424b2.htm[9/15/2015 4:52:39 PM]

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and do not include its consolidated subsidiaries. Also, references to the "accompanying
prospectus" mean the accompanying prospectus, dated September 15, 2014, as supplemented by the accompanying prospectus
supplement, dated September 15, 2014, in each case relating to the Medium-Term Notes, Series D of The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc. References to the "indenture" in this prospectus supplement mean the senior debt indenture, dated July 16, 2008,
between The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.

K e y T e rm s

I ssue r: The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

I ndic e s: the Russell 2000® Index (Bloomberg symbol, "RTY Index"), as published by the Russell Investment Group ("Russell");
the S&P 500® Index (Bloomberg symbol, "SPX Index"), as published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC ("S&P"), see "The Indices" on
page S-32

Spe c ifie d c urre nc y: U.S. dollars ("$")

Fa c e a m ount : each note will have a face amount equal to $10; $ 7,712,590 in the aggregate for all the offered notes; the
aggregate face amount of the offered notes may be increased if the issuer, at its sole option, decides to sell an additional amount
of the offered notes on a date subsequent to the date of this prospectus supplement

De nom ina t ions: $10 and integral multiples of $10 in excess thereof

M inim um purc ha se a m ount : In connection with the initial offering of the notes, the minimum principal amount of notes that
may be purchased by any investor is $1,000

Supple m e nt a l pla n of dist ribut ion: The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has agreed to sell to Goldman, Sachs & Co.
("GS&Co."), and GS&Co. has agreed to purchase from The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., the aggregate face amount of the offered
notes specified on the front cover of this prospectus supplement. GS&Co. proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the
original issue price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, and to certain securities dealers at such price less a
concession not in excess of 3.50% of the face amount. See "Supplemental Plan of Distribution" on page S-50

Purc ha se a t a m ount ot he r t ha n fa c e a m ount : the amount we will pay you for your notes on a call payment date or the
stated maturity date, as the case may be, will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for your notes, so if you acquire
notes at a premium (or discount) to face amount and hold them to a call payment date or the stated maturity date, it could affect
your investment in a number of ways. The return on your investment in such notes will be lower (or higher) than it would have
been had you purchased the notes at face amount. See "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes -- If You Purchase Your
Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face
Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected" on page S-14 of this prospectus
supplement

Supple m e nt a l disc ussion of U .S. fe de ra l inc om e t a x c onse que nc e s: you will be obligated pursuant to the terms of the
notes -- in the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary -- to characterize
each note for all tax purposes as an income-bearing pre-paid derivative contract in respect of the indices, as described under
"Supplemental Discussion of Federal Income Tax Consequences" herein. Pursuant to this approach, it is the opinion of Sidley
Austin LLP that it is likely that any coupon payment will be taxed as ordinary income in accordance with your regular method of
accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are a United States alien holder of the notes, we intend to withhold on
coupon payments made to you at a 30% rate or at a lower rate specified by an

applicable income tax treaty. In addition, upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes, it would be reasonable for
you to recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash you receive at such time
(excluding amounts attributable to any coupon payment) and your tax basis in your notes.

Ca sh se t t le m e nt a m ount (on a ny c a ll pa ym e nt da t e ): if your notes are automatically called on a call observation date
because the closing levels of both indices are greater than or equal to their respective initial index levels, for each $10 face amount
of your notes, on the related call payment date, we will pay you an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) $10 plus (ii) the coupon

then due

Ca sh se t t le m e nt a m ount (on t he st a t e d m a t urit y da t e ): if your notes are not automatically called, for each $10 face
amount of your notes, we will pay you on the stated maturity date an amount in cash equal to:

·
if the index return of both indices is greater than or equal to -30.00% (the final index level of both indices is greater than or

equal to their respective coupon barriers), $10 plus the final coupon;

·
if the index return of both indices is greater than or equal to -50.00% (the final index level of both indices is greater than or

equal to their respective trigger levels), but the index return of either index is less than -30.00%, $10; or

·
if the index return of either index is less than -50.00% (the final index level of either index is less than its respective trigger

level), the sum of (i) $10 plus (ii) the product of (a) the lesser performing index return times (b) $10.

T rigge r le ve l: 578.896 with respect to the Russell 2000® Index and 980.525 with respect to the S&P 500® Index (in each case,
50.00% of such index's initial index level (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth))

Aut om a t ic c a ll fe a t ure : if, as measured on any call observation date, the closing levels of both indices are greater than or
equal to their respective initial index levels, your notes will be automatically called; if your notes are automatically called on any call
observation date, on the corresponding call payment date, in addition to the coupon then due, you will receive an amount in cash
equal to $10 for each $10 face amount of your notes, and no further payments will be made since your notes will no longer be
outstanding. If the closing level of either index is below its initial index level on a call observation date, the notes cannot be called.

Le sse r pe rform ing inde x re t urn: the index return of the lesser performing index

Le sse r pe rform ing inde x : the index with the lowest index return

Coupon: subject to the automatic call feature, on each coupon payment date, for each $10 face amount of your notes, we will
pay you an amount in cash equal to:

· if the closing levels of both indices on the related coupon determination date are greater than or equal to the coupon
barrier, $0.22125 (i.e., equal to a return of 8.85% per annum); or

·
if the closing level of either index on the related coupon determination date is less than the coupon barrier, $0.00

No coupon payment or return of principal is guaranteed. As discussed above, we will not pay a coupon with respect to any coupon
determination date on which the closing level of either index is less than its respective coupon barrier. Also, although both the
coupon determination dates and coupon payment dates occur quarterly, there may not be an equal number of days between
coupon determination dates or between coupon payment dates, respectively. However, the way in which the coupon is determined
will not vary based on the actual number of days between coupon determination dates or between coupon payment dates.

Coupon ba rrie r: 810.454 with respect to the Russell 2000® Index and 1,372.735 with respect to the S&P 500® Index (in each
case, 70.00% of such index's initial index level (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth))

I nit ia l inde x le ve l: 1,157.792 with respect to the Russell 2000® Index and 1,961.05 with respect to the S&P 500® Index (in each

H Y POT H ET I CAL EX AM PLES

The following tables and examples are provided for purposes of illustration only. They should not be taken as an indication or
prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to illustrate (i) the impact that various hypothetical closing levels of
the indices on a coupon determination date could have on the coupon payable on the related coupon payment date and (ii) the
impact that the various hypothetical closing levels of the lesser performing index on the determination date could have on the cash
settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of index levels of the lesser performing index that are entirely hypothetical; no one
can predict what the index level of either index will be on any day throughout the life of your notes, what the closing level of either
index will be on any coupon determination date or call observation date, as the case may be, and what the final index level of the
lesser performing index will be on the determination date. The indices have been highly volatile in the past -- meaning that the
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000110465915065289/a15-18826_14424b2.htm[9/15/2015 4:52:39 PM]

index levels have changed substantially in relatively short periods -- and their performance cannot be predicted for any future
period.

The information in the following examples reflects the hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are
purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to a call payment date or the stated maturity date. If you sell
your notes in a secondary market prior to a call payment date or the stated maturity date, as the case may be, your return will
depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not
reflected in the tables below such as interest rates, the volatility of the indices and our creditworthiness. In addition, the estimated
value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date (as determined by reference to pricing models
used by GS&Co.) is less than the original issue price of your notes. For more information on the estimated value of your notes,
see "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes -- The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the Terms of Your Notes
Are Set On the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue
Price Of Your Notes" on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement. The information in the tables also reflect the key terms and

periods, see "The Indices -- Historical Closing Levels of the Indices" on page S-42. Before investing in the notes, you should
consult publicly available information to determine the index levels between the date of this prospectus supplement and the date of
your purchase of the notes.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S.
tax treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater
extent than the after-tax return on the index stocks.

With respect to each $10 face amount of notes, the examples below show hypothetical coupons, if any, that we would pay on
a coupon payment date if the closing levels of the indices on the applicable coupon determination date were the hypothetical
closing levels shown.

In Scenario 1, the hypothetical closing level of each index increases and decreases by varying amounts, compared to its
respective initial index level, on the hypothetical coupon determination dates. Because the hypothetical closing levels of both
indices on the third, seventh and ninth hypothetical coupon determination dates are greater than or equal to their respective coupon
barriers, coupons are paid on the three related coupon payment dates and the total of the hypothetical coupons paid in Scenario 1
is $0.66375. Because the hypothetical closing level of at least one of the indices on the twelfth through the fortieth hypothetical
coupon determination dates is less than its respective coupon barrier, no coupons are paid on the final 29 coupon payment dates,
including at maturity. Regardless of any coupons paid during the term of the notes, the overall return on your notes may be zero or
less.

In Scenario 2, the hypothetical closing level of the Russell 2000® Index decreases by varying amounts, compared to its initial
index level, on the hypothetical coupon determination dates and the

hypothetical closing level of the S&P 500® Index increases and decreases by varying amounts, compared to its initial index level, on
the hypothetical coupon determination dates. Because in each case the hypothetical closing level of the Russell 2000® Index is
less than its coupon barrier, you will not receive a coupon payment on any hypothetical coupon payment date, even though the
level of S&P 500® Index is above its coupon barrier on each hypothetical coupon determination date. Therefore, the total of the
hypothetical coupons paid in Scenario 2 is $0.00. The overall return on your notes will be zero or less.

In Scenario 3, the hypothetical closing level of each index increases and decreases by varying amounts, compared to its
respective initial index level, on the hypothetical coupon determination dates. Because the hypothetical closing levels of both
indices are greater than or equal to their respective initial index levels on the fourth hypothetical coupon determination date (which
is also the first hypothetical call observation date), your notes will be automatically called. Therefore, on the corresponding
hypothetical call payment date, in addition to the coupon of $0.22125, you will receive an amount in cash equal to $10 for each $10
face amount of your notes.

I f t he not e s a re not c a lle d on a ny c a ll obse rva t ion da t e (i.e., on each call observation date the closing level of
either index is less than its respective initial index level) the cash settlement amount we would deliver for each $10 face amount of
your notes on the maturity date will depend on the performance of the lesser performing index on the determination date, as shown
in the table below. The table below assumes that t he not e s ha ve not be e n a ut om a t ic a lly c a lle d on a c a ll
obse rva t ion da t e and reflects hypothetical cash settlement amounts that you could receive on the stated maturity date.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final index levels of the lesser performing index and are
expressed as percentages of the initial index level of the lesser performing index. The amounts in the right column represent the
hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final index level of the lesser performing index
(expressed as a percentage of the initial index level of the lesser performing index), and are expressed as percentages of the face
amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000%
means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $10 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes
on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final
index level of the lesser performing index (expressed as a percentage of the initial index level of the lesser performing index) and
the assumptions noted above.

If, for example, the notes have not been called on a call observation date and the final index level of the lesser performing
index were determined to be 25.000% of its initial index level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at
maturity would be 25.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your
notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose 75.000% of your
investment excluding any coupons you may have received over the term of the notes (if you purchased your notes at a premium to
face amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). In addition, if the final index level of the
lesser performing index were determined to be 60.000% of its initial index level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000110465915065289/a15-18826_14424b2.htm[9/15/2015 4:52:39 PM]

on your notes at maturity would be 100.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. Because the final
index level of the lesser performing index is greater than or equal to its trigger level, if you held your notes to the stated maturity
date, you would receive $10 for each $10 face amount of your notes.

The cash settlement amounts shown above are entirely hypothetical; they are based on market prices for the index stocks that
may not be achieved on the determination date and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual market value of
your notes on the stated maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little
relation to the hypothetical cash settlement amounts shown above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the
financial return on an investment in the offered notes. The hypothetical cash settlement amounts on notes held to the stated
maturity date in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their face amount and have not been adjusted to reflect
the actual issue price you pay for your notes. The return on your

S-9
Table of Contents

investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your
notes for a price other than the face amount, the return on your investment will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the
hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples. Please read "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes -- The Market
Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors" on page S-14.

Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments.
For example, payments on the notes are economically equivalent to a combination of an interest-bearing bond bought by the
holder and one or more options entered into between the holder and us (with one or more implicit option premiums paid over time).
The discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect the terms of the notes or the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the
notes, as described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.

We cannot predict the actual closing levels of the indices on any day, the final index level of the indices or what the market
value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the closing levels of the
indices and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual coupon payment, if any,
that a holder of the notes will receive on each coupon payment date, the actual amount that you will receive at maturity, if any,
and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend on whether or not the notes are called and the actual closing levels of
the indices and the actual final index levels determined by the calculation agent as described above. Moreover, the
assumptions on which the hypothetical examples are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the coupon to be
paid in respect of your notes, if any, and the cash amount to be paid in respect of your notes on the stated maturity date, if
any, may be very different from the information reflected in the table and examples above.
