Item 1.   Security and Issuer

          This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D on The Gabelli
Convertible Securities Fund, Inc., (the "Issuer"), is being filed
on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D which was
originally filed on March 31, 1995.  Unless otherwise indicated,
all capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in
the Schedule 13D.
          
Item 2.   Identity and Background
          This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly
controls and for which he acts as chief investment officer. 
These entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker", formerly known as Safety
Railway Services Corporation), Western New Mexico Telephone
Company ("Western New Mexico") and Inter-Community Telephone
Company ("Inter-Community") engage in various aspects of the
securities business, primarily as investment advisor to various
institutional and individual clients, including registered
investment companies and pension plans, as broker/dealer and as
managing general partner of various private investment partner-
ships.  Certain of these entities may also make investments for
their own account. 
          The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular Issuer.  Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting
their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the
holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors
may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13D
or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to
time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive.  In order to avoid any question as to whether their
beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in
order to provide greater investment flexibility and administra-
tive uniformity, these persons have decided to file their benefi-
cial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form
rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide
more expansive disclosure than may be necessary. 
          (a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GS-

          (d) and (e) On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted and
simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an adminis-
trative proceeding againts Gabelli & Company, Inc.  The order
instituting the proceeding included a finding, which Gabelli &
Company and GAMCO neither admitted nor denied, that they failed
to implement and maintain policies and procedures reasonably
designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information
by not sepecifically addressing the special circumstances that
arose from their affiliation with Lynch Corporation, a public
company.  To resolve this matter, Gabelli & Company and GAMCO
agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 15(f) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Section
204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"),
respectively.  They further agreed to each pay a civil penalty in
the amount of $50,000, and to retain, and adopt the recommenda-
tions of, an independant consultant regarding their Section 15(f)
and Section 204A policies and procedures.  
          On December 13, 1991, the Virginia State Corporation
Commission entered an order of settlement in final disposition of
matters arising from an allegation that GAMCO had transacted
business in Virginia as an investment adviser without having been
registered as such under Virginia Code Section 13.1-504A or an
exemption therefrom.  GAMCO consented to the entry of the order
without admitting or denying the allegation and without a hear-
ing.  The terms of the order provide that GAMCO would pay a fine
and cots totalling fifty-five thousand dollars and would not
transact business in Virginia as an investment adviser unless it
was registered as such under section 13.1-504A or was exempt from
registration.  
     (f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.

ly $1,717,688 to purchase the Securities.  GAMCO and GFI used
approximately $1,063,138 and $473,950, respectively, of funds

except that the power of Mr. Gabelli and GFI is indirect with
respect to Securities beneficially owned directly by other
Reporting Persons.

Securities which were effected during the past sixty days by each
of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons is set forth on
