Item 4.  Ownership

         The information in items 1 and 5 through 11 on the cover pages
(pp. 2-
         4) on Schedule 13G is hereby incorporated by reference.

         Janus Capital is a registered investment adviser which
furnishes
         investment advice to several investment companies registered
under
         Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and individual
and
         institutional clients (collectively referred to herein as
"Managed
         Portfolios").  As a result of its role as investment adviser or
sub-
         adviser to the Managed Portfolios, Janus Capital may be deemed
to be
         the beneficial owner of the shares of Engelhard Common Stock
held by
         such Managed Portfolios.  However, Janus Capital does not have
the
         right to receive any dividends from, or the proceeds from the
sale of,
         the securities held in the Managed Portfolios and disclaims any
         ownership associated with such rights.

         Mr. Bailey owns approximately 12.2% of Janus Capital.  In
addition to
         being a stockholder of Janus Capital, Mr. Bailey serves as
President
         and Chairman of the Board of Janus Capital and is filing this
joint
         statement with Janus Capital as a result of such stock
ownership and
         positions which may be deemed to enable him to exercise control
over
         Janus Capital.  Mr. Bailey does not own of record any shares of
         Engelhard Common Stock and he has not engaged in any
transaction in
         Engelhard Common Stock.  However, as a result of his position,
Mr.
         Bailey may be deemed to have the power to exercise or to direct
the
         exercise of such voting and/or dispositive power that Janus
Capital
         may have with respect to Engelhard Common Stock held by the
Managed
         Portfolios.  All shares reported herein have been acquired by
the
         Managed Portfolios, and Mr. Bailey specifically disclaims
beneficial
         ownership over any shares of Engelhard Common Stock that he or
Janus
         Capital may be deemed to beneficially own.  Furthermore, Mr.
Bailey
         does not have the right to receive any dividends from, or the
proceeds
         from the sale of, the securities held in the Managed Portfolios
and
         disclaims any ownership associated with such rights.

         Janus Fund is an investment company registered under the
Investment
         Company Act of 1940 and is one of the Managed Portfolios to
which
         Janus Capital provides investment advice.

of more
              than five percent of the class of securities.
