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 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
$2,183,868.08.  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 $5,565,075.31.  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

As previously reported, the Reporting Persons acquired the Shares
for the purpose of investment because they believe the Shares
represented a favorable investment opportunity.  The Reporting
Persons are evaluating and will continue to evaluate the investment
potential of the Shares.  Depending on various factors including
the results of such evaluation, the Company's business prospects
and financial position, other developments concerning the Company,
the price level of the Shares, available opportunities to acquire
or dispose of Shares or realize trading profits, conditions in the
securities markets and general economic and industry conditions,
reinvestment opportunities and developments relating to its
business, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions
with respect to such holdings in the Company as they deem
appropriate in light of circumstances existing from time to time. 
Such actions may include the purchase of additional Shares in the
open market, through privately negotiated transactions with third
parties or otherwise, or the sale at any time, in the open market,
through privately negotiated transactions with third parties or
otherwise, of all or a portion of the Shares now owned or hereafter
acquired.  In addition, the Reporting Persons may explore measures
aimed at enhancing shareholder value.

Mr. Cohen has spoken with management of the Company about the
future prospects of the Company and inquired about future plans. 
No agreements, understanding or commitments have been made at this
time with respect to any of the items so discussed.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) - (b) The aggregate number and percentage of Shares to which
this 13D relates is 461,300 Shares representing 10.10% of the
4,567,191 Shares reported by the Company as outstanding as of June
27, 1995.  (The Company's most recently available Form 10-Q
reported 4,542,000 Shares outstanding and the Company has confirmed
that through the exercise of stock options an additional 25,191
Shares are outstanding.)  The Reporting Persons directly own those
Shares as follows:

Name              No. of Shares              % of Common

Mr. Cohen            124,900                   2.74%
Capital Management   336,400                   7.36%

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 June 28, 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

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and
belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement
is true, complete and correct.
