  CUSIP NO. 068 313-10-5                                   PAGE 4 OF 12 PAGES



ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER

     This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock of BARRA, Inc. ("BARRA"),
     the principal office of which is located at 1995 University Avenue,
     Berkeley, California 94704-1058.  This Amendment No. 1 supplements the
     Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December
     29, 1995.


ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

     (a)  This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by The Nikko Securities Co., Ltd.
          ("Nikko Securities") and The Nikko Building Co., Ltd. ("Nikko
          Building"), both of which are Japanese corporations with their place
          of organization in Tokyo, Japan.  In addition, Nikko Enterprises, Ltd.
          ("Nikko Enterprises"), also a Japanese corporation with its place of
          organization in Tokyo, Japan, owns 95% of the voting stock of Nikko
          Building.  Nikko Enterprises is principally owned by two other
          entities within the Nikko group -- Nikko System Center ("NSC") and
          Nikko Research Center ("NRC") (which together own 95% of Nikko
          Enterprises).  Nikko Building owns 50% of NSC, and Nikko Building and
          NSC together own 78% of NRC.  Thus, although Nikko Enterprises owns
          95% of Nikko Building, Nikko Building (through NSC and NRC) indirectly
          controls Nikko Enterprises.

          Lists of the Boards of Directors and executive officers of Nikko
          Securities, Nikko Building and Nikko Enterprises are attached hereto
          as Schedule A, Schedule B and Schedule C, respectively.

     (b)  The address of Nikko Securities' principal business and principal
          office is 3-1, Marunouchi 3-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100, Japan.  The
          address of Nikko Building's principal office is 9-2, Nihombashi Koami-
          cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103, Japan, and its registered address is 6-5,
          Nihombashi Kabuto-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103, Japan.  The address of
          Nikko Enterprises' principal business and principal office is 9-2,
          Nihombashi Koami-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103, Japan.  

          The business address of the individuals listed in Schedule A hereto is
          3-1, Marunouchi 3-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100, Japan.  The business
          address of the individuals listed in Schedule B hereto, with the
          exception of Kichiro Takao (who is the President of Nikko Securities),
          is 9-2, Nihombashi Koami-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103, Japan.  The business
          address of the individuals listed in Schedule C hereto is 9-2,
          Nihombashi Koami-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103, Japan.

     (c)  Nikko Securities is a foreign, non-registered broker-dealer.  Nikko
          Building's principal business is the management and leasing of
          commercial properties for the Nikko Group.  Nikko Enterprises'
          principal business is travel and insurance services.  All of the
          individuals listed in Schedule A hereto are employed by Nikko
          Securities.  All of the individuals listed in Schedule B hereto, with
          the exception of Kichiro Takao (who is the President of Nikko
          Securities), are employed by Nikko Building.  All of the individuals
          listed in Schedule C hereto are employed by Nikko Enterprises.

     (d)  Neither Nikko Securities, Nikko Building nor Nikko Enterprises, nor,
          to the best knowledge of these companies, the individuals listed in
          Schedules A, B and C hereto, have been convicted in any criminal
          proceeding during the past five years.  

     (e)  Neither Nikko Securities, Nikko Building nor Nikko Enterprises, nor,
          to the best knowledge of these companies, the individuals listed in
          Schedules A, B and C hereto, have been a party to a civil proceeding
          of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or
          been subjected to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
          violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
          federal or state securities laws, or been found to have violated such
          laws, during the past five years.


ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

          Pursuant to an Options Agreement dated October 9, 1992 between Nikko
          Securities, Nikko Building and BARRA (described at Item 6), on
          November 1, 1995:  (1) Nikko Securities acquired 32,400 shares of
          BARRA common stock from BARRA in exchange for 18 shares of N.B.
          Investment Technology Co., Ltd. that were owned by Nikko Securities;
          and (2) Nikko Building acquired 219,600 shares of BARRA common stock
          from BARRA in exchange for 122 shares of N.B. Investment Technology
          Co., Ltd., that were owned by Nikko Building.

          By virtue of its 95% ownership of Nikko Building, Nikko Enterprises
          indirectly acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of BARRA common
          stock in the above mentioned transaction between Nikko Building and
          BARRA.  None of the individuals listed in Schedules A, B and C hereto
          have acquired shares of BARRA common stock.


ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

          Shares of BARRA common stock were acquired and are held by Nikko
          Securities and Nikko Building solely for investment purposes.


ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a)  Nikko Securities and Nikko Building each beneficially own 400,000
          shares of BARRA common stock, which represents approximately 4.8% of
          the common stock of BARRA outstanding as of July 24, 1996.  Neither
          Nikko Securities nor Nikko Building beneficially owns any rights to
          acquire additional shares of the common stock of BARRA.  Of these
          400,000 shares, Nikko Securities directly owns 40,000 shares, and
          Nikko Building directly owns 360,000 shares.

          Nikko Enterprises, indirectly through its 95% ownership of Nikko
          Building, beneficially owns 360,000 shares of BARRA common stock,
          although it does not directly own any shares of BARRA common stock or
          any rights to acquire shares of BARRA common stock.  None of the

  CUSIP NO. 068 313-10-5                                   PAGE 6 OF 12 PAGES



          individuals listed in Schedules A, B and C hereto own, beneficially or
          otherwise, any shares of BARRA common stock or any rights to acquire
          shares of BARRA common stock.

     (b)  Nikko Securities has shared power to vote and shared power to dispose
          of 400,000 shares of BARRA common stock, and Nikko Building has shared
          power to vote and shared power to dispose of 400,000 shares of BARRA
          common stock.  Nikko Enterprises, indirectly through its 95% ownership
          of Nikko Building, has shared power to vote and shared power to
          dispose of 360,000 shares of BARRA common stock.  

     (c)  No transactions in BARRA common stock were effected by Nikko
          Securities, Nikko Building or Nikko Enterprises, nor by any of the
          individuals listed in Schedules A, B and C hereto, during the past 60
          days.

     (d)  Nikko Securities has the right to receive dividends and the proceeds
          from the sale of 40,000 shares of BARRA common stock.  Nikko Building
          has the right to receive dividends and the proceeds from the sale of
          360,000 shares of BARRA common stock.

     (e)  As of July 24, 1996 (and continuing through the date of this Amendment
          No. 1), Nikko Securities and Nikko Building, collectively, ceased to
          be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of BARRA common stock.


ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
          TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

          An Options Agreement dated October 9, 1992 between Nikko Securities,
          Nikko Building and BARRA conferred upon BARRA the right to acquire
          shares of N.B. Investment Technology Co., Ltd. owned by Nikko
          Securities and Nikko Building, and conferred upon Nikko Securities and
          Nikko Building the right to acquire shares of BARRA common stock
          directly from BARRA in the event that BARRA exercised its option as to
          the shares of N.B. Investment Technology Co., Ltd.  

          Pursuant to an understanding between the two parties, which has not
          been memorialized, Nikko Securities and Nikko Building intend to
          coordinate with each other the voting and disposition of their shares
          of BARRA common stock.  This understanding, however, does not impose
          any obligations, legal, contractual or otherwise, on either party.


ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

               Securities.
