Item 1.           Security and Issuer.
                  -------------------

      This  Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common  stock,  par value $.01
per share, of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc.  ("Pamrapo"),  a corporation organized under
the laws of the state of Delaware.  The principal  executive  offices of Pamrapo
are located at 611 Avenue C, Bayonne, New Jersey 07002.

Item 2.           Identity and Background.
                  -----------------------

      This  Schedule  13D is being  filed by  Richmond  County  Financial  Corp.
("Richmond  County"), a Delaware  corporation,  which is the holding company for
Richmond County Savings Bank (the "Bank").  Richmond County's principal business
is directing the business of the Bank. The principal  office of Richmond  County
is located at 1214 Castleton Avenue,  Staten Island, New York 10310.  During the
past five years Richmond County has not been convicted in a criminal  proceeding
(excluding traffic  violations or similar  misdemeanors) nor has Richmond County
been a party to a civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  or  administrative  body of
competent  jurisdiction  and, as a result of such proceeding,  been subject 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.

      Attached as Schedule I hereto and  incorporated  herein by  reference is a
                  ----------
list  containing  the (a) name,  (b) business or  residential  address,  and (c)
present principal  occupation or employment and the name, principal business and
address of any  corporation or other  organization  in which such  employment is
conducted,  of each  director  and  executive  officer of  Richmond  County.  To
Richmond  County's  knowledge,  each of the directors and executive  officers of
Richmond  County is a United  States  citizen,  and none of such  directors  and
executive officers has, during the past five years, been convicted in a criminal
proceeding  (excluding  traffic  violations or similar  misdemeanors)  or been a
party to a civil  proceeding of a judicial or  administrative  body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject 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.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
                  -------------------------------------------------

      On March 22, 1999,  Richmond  County  acquired  Bayonne  Bancshares,  Inc.
("Bayonne")  through the merger of Bayonne with and into Richmond  County,  with
Richmond  County being the surviving  corporation  (the  "Merger").  Through the
Merger,  Richmond County  acquired 83,100 shares of Pamrapo common stock,  which
were held by Bayonne  immediately prior to the Merger.  When aggregated with the
shares of Pamrapo common stock held by Richmond County  immediately prior to the
Merger,  Richmond  County holds an aggregate of 224,900 shares of Pamrapo common
stock. All shares previously purchase by Richmond County were purchased for cash
using  working  capital.  The total cost of the shares of Pamrapo  common  stock
purchased by Richmond County and Bayonne was $6,184,275.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.
                  ----------------------

      As part of its investment  strategy,  Richmond County regularly invests in
the common  stock of financial  institutions  in and around its market area that
Richmond County believes provide the potential for capital appreciation. Bayonne
had a similar  investment  strategy.  Richmond  County  currently  holds Pamrapo
common stock in its equity  portfolio for investment  purposes  pursuant to this
investment strategy. Because Section 1467(a)(10)(e) of the Home Owners' Loan Act
prohibits a savings and loan holding  company from acquiring more than 5% of the
voting shares of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company
that is not a subsidiary,  Richmond  County will reduce its ownership of Pamrapo
common  stock so that it owns less than the  maximum  permitted  threshold.  The
Office of Thrift  Supervision,  which regulates Richmond County as a savings and
loan holding company, has informally stated to Richmond County that it would not
object to a thirty day divestiture period.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
                  ------------------------------------

      (a)  Richmond County  beneficially  owns 224,900  shares of Pamrapo common
stock or 7.91% of outstanding shares.

           Michael  F.  Manzulli,   Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chairman  of
Richmond County, owns 400 shares of Pamrapo common stock.

      (b)  Richmond  County  has sole  power to vote or direct the vote and sole
power to dispose or direct the  disposition  of 224,900 shares of Pamrapo common
stock.

           Mr. Manzulli has sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power
to dispose or direct the disposition of 400 shares of Pamrapo common stock.

      (c) On March 22, 1999,  Bayonne was merged with and into Richmond  County,
with  Richmond  County being the  surviving  corporation.  Concurrent  with such
Merger,  Richmond  County  acquired  83,100  shares  of  Pamrapo  common  stock,
constituting those shares held by Bayonne at the time of the Merger. See Item 3.

      (d) No person other than  Richmond  County has the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
any shares of Pamrapo  common  stock  that may be deemed  beneficially  owned by
Richmond  County.  No person other than Mr. Manzulli has the right to receive or
the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale
of, any shares of Pamrapo common stock that may be deemed  beneficially owned by
Mr. Manzulli.
