RE: BURRIDGE FUNDS
1933 ACT REGISTRATION NO. 333-11633
1940 ACT REGISTRATION NO. 811-7801
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Burridge Funds (the "Registrant"), pursuant to Rule 477(a)
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are hereby
requesting the consent of the Commission to the withdrawal of post-effective
amendment number 2 to the Registrant's registration statement under the 1933 Act
(post-effective amendment number 3 to its registration under the 1940 Act),
which was filed on October 20, 1997, and which is scheduled to become effective
on December 19, 1997. Please be advised that no preliminary prospectuses or
preliminary statements of additional information with respect to the post-
effective amendment have been circulated by the Registrant or its underwriters.
The Registrant has determined for various business reasons that it does not
wish to pursue the proposed reconstitution of the Burridge Capital Development
Fund (the "Fund"), which the post-effective amendment was intended to
implement. The Registrant desires to continue operation of the Fund in its
current form pending final determination by the Registrant whether to continue
or liquidate the Fund.
Sincerely,
BELL, BOYD & LLOYD
