ITEM 6.   OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF
          ANOTHER PERSON.

          Item 6 is hereby replaced in its entirety by the
          following:

          This Schedule 13G is filed by Ardsley Advisory
Partners, a Connecticut general partnership ("Advisory"), which
is an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, with respect to the
3,790,200 shares of Common Stock held by Advisory at December 31,
1994, for the discretionary accounts of certain clients,
including investment partnerships for which (i) Advisory serves
as the management company and (ii) a general partnership
comprised of the same partners as comprise Advisory serves as
general partner.

          By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the
Act, Advisory is deemed to own beneficially the shares owned by
the managed accounts.  Each client for whose account Advisory has
purchased Common Stock has the right to receive or the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the
sale of, such shares purchased for his account.  No such client
has any of the foregoing rights with respect to more than five
percent of the class of securities identified in Item 2(d). 
There is no agreement or understanding among such persons to act
together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or
disposing of any such securities.

          To the knowledge of Advisory, no other person has the
right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
from, or the proceeds from the sale of, a number of such shares
which represents more than 5% of the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock.

ITEM 10.  CERTIFICATION.  (if filing pursuant to
          Rule 13d-1(b))

            By signing below I certify that, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were
acquired in the ordinary course of business, were not acquired
for the purpose of and do not have the effect of changing or
influencing the control of the issuer of such securities and were
not acquired in connection with or as a participant in any
transaction having such purposes or effect.
