Item 1. Security and Issuer

The Schedule 13D filed June 14, 1995, by S.A.C. Capital Management,
L.P. ("Capital Management"), with respect to the Common Stock,
$0.01 par value per share (the "Shares") of Andros Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and amended June 28, 1995,
July 31, 1995 and October 3, 1995 by S.A.C. Capital Management L.P.
and Steven A. Cohen ("Mr. Cohen," and, together with Capital
Management, the "Reporting Persons") is hereby amended as set forth
below.

Item 2. Identity and Background

No Amendment.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The aggregate amount of funds (including commissions) required by
Mr. Cohen to purchase the Shares owned directly by him was
$4,644,799.08.  All funds used by Mr. Cohen to purchase the Shares
were derived from Mr. Cohen's personal funds.  The aggregate amount
of funds (including commissions) required to purchase the Shares
directly owned by Capital Management was $5,634,695.31.  All funds
used by Capital Management to purchase the Shares were derived from
working capital.  The funds used by the Reporting Persons may
include margin debt incurred from time to time in the ordinary
course of business pursuant to customary margin agreements with
Spear, Leeds & Kellogg.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

Except for the following, Item 4 is not otherwise amended.  In late
October, Mr. Cohen spoke with the Chief Financial Officer of the
Company about becoming an additional member of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") and on December 5, 1995, Mr.
Cohen sent a letter to the Chairman of the Board confirming this
request.  

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) - (b) The aggregate number and percentage of Shares to which
this 13D relates is 613,100 Shares representing 13.34% of the
4,596,539 Shares reported by the Company as outstanding as of
September 29, 1995.  The Reporting Persons directly own those
Shares as follows:

Name                No. of Shares              % of Common

Mr. Cohen           272,700                     5.93%
Capital Management  340,400                     7.41%

Mr. Cohen has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose
of the Shares he owns directly.  As general partners of Capital
Management, Mr. Cohen and S.A.C. Capital Management, Inc.
("S.A.C.") share with Capital Management the power to vote and
dispose of all Shares directly owned by Capital Management.  As a
result, Mr. Cohen and S.A.C. are deemed to beneficially own the
Shares owned by Capital Management.  Scott J. Lederman, Barry M.
Skalka and Terrence E. Fox, each an Executive Vice President of
S.A.C., do not beneficially own any Shares other than in their
capacities as officers of S.A.C.

(c) Except as set forth in Annex I hereto, no transactions in
Shares were effected since October 3, 1995 by either the Reporting
Persons or S.A.C.

(d) No amendment

(e) Not applicable

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

No amendment

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

No exhibits are required to be filed.

Signature

belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement
is true, complete and correct.
