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, October 3, 1995 and December 5, 1995 by Capital
Management and Steven A. Cohen ("Mr. Cohen" ) is hereby amended by
Capital Management, Mr. Cohen and S.A.C. Investments, L.P.
("Investments," and together with Capital Management and Mr. Cohen,
the "Reporting Persons") as set forth below.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Capital Management and Investments are each a Delaware limited
partnership engaged, directly and indirectly, in the active trading
of securities and, to a lesser extent, in the trading of commodity
interests.  S.A.C. Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("SAC"), is the general partner of each of
Capital Management and Investments.  SAC's members are Mr. Cohen
and S.A.C. Capital Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SAC
Inc") who were the former general partners of Capital Management. 
SAC Inc's sole shareholder, director and President is Mr. Cohen. 
Scott J. Lederman, Barry M. Skalka and Terence E. Fox are each
Executive Vice Presidents of SAC Inc.  The business offices of the
Reporting Persons, SAC Inc, SAC, Mr. Lederman, Mr. Skalka and Mr.
Fox are located at 520 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New
York  10022.

None of the Reporting Persons, SAC, SAC Inc., Mr. Lederman, Mr.
Skalka, or Mr. Fox have, during the last five years, been convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdeameanors) nor have any of them been a party to any civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction which resulted in or subjected any of them to a
judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Mr. Cohen, Mr. Lederman, Mr. Skalka, and Mr. Fox are citizens of
the United States of America.

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
$5,313,224.  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 $5,795,383.  All funds
used by Capital Management to purchase the Shares were derived from
working capital.  Capital Management transferred a portion of the
Shares to Investments effective January 1, 1996 in a transaction
that did not result in a change in the indirect beneficial
ownership of the Shares by Capital Management.  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

 The information provided in item 4 of the Schedule 13D, as
amended, applies equally to Investments and is not otherwise
amended.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) - (b) The aggregate number and percentage of Shares to which
this 13D relates is 663,500 Shares representing 14.43% of the
4,597,300 Shares reported by the Company as outstanding as of
October 29, 1995.  The Reporting Persons directly own those Shares
as follows:

Name                No. of Shares            % of Common

Mr. Cohen              318,100                  6.92%
Capital Management     196,878                  4.28%
Investments            148,522                  3.23%

Mr. Cohen has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose
of the Shares he owns directly.  As the Managing Member of SAC, Mr.
Cohen through SAC, shares with Capital Management and Investments
the power to vote and dispose of all Shares directly owned by
Capital Management and Investments.  As a result, Mr. Cohen is
deemed to be a beneficial owner of the Shares owned by Capital
Management and Investments.  Scott J. Lederman, Barry M. Skalka and
Terence E. Fox, each an Executive Vice President of SAC Inc., do
not beneficially own any Shares other than in their capacities as
officers of SAC Inc.

(c) Except as set forth in Annex I hereto and Item 3 above, no
transactions in Shares were effected since December 1, 1995 by
either the Reporting Persons or S.A.C.

(d) The partners in the Reporting Person partnerships have an
economic interest in any dividends from, and the proceeds of sales
of the Shares owned directly by such Reporting Persons. 

(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.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and
