AIISrl'llAC'I'. in this not(, xe consider several types of gliding h,.p properties for a sequence space E and we consider he various implications between these properties. By means of exa.=ples we show that mos! of the implit-ations are strict and they afford a sort of structure between solid sequence spaces and those wit h weakly sequentially complete /-(tuals. Our/nain result is used to extend a result of Bennett and Kalton which characterizes the class of sequence spaces E with the properly that E C S, whenever F is a separable FK space containing E where SF denotes the sequences in 1," having sectional convergence. "I his, in t,rn, is used to identif,v a gliding humps property as a s.llicient con(lilion for E to be in this class.
