                           Item 1. Security and Issuer

I. Wistar Morris,  III hereby amends the Schedule 13D originally  filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission")  on December 2, 1996, as
amended by Amendment  No. 1 thereto,  filed with the  Commission on February 11,
1998 (as amended,  the "Schedule  13D"),  which relates to the common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),  of Home-Stake Oil & Gas Company,  an
Oklahoma  corporation (the  "Company"),  whose principal  executive  offices are
located at 15 E. 5th Street, Suite 2800, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103-4311.


                         Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

(b)  Business Address:  Five Radnor Corporate  Center,
                        Suite 452 100 Matsonford
                        Road Radnor, PA 19087

(c)  Present Principal Occupation:  Mr. Morris is President of Morris Investment
     Management  Company,  a  registered   investment  advisor,   and  a  Senior
     Consultant to Pennsylvania Trust Company, an NASD registered broker-dealer.


            Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

This Amendment No. 2 to Mr.  Morris'  Schedule 13D is being filed to correct the
previously  reported shares of Common Stock acquired and  beneficially  owned by
Mr. Morris as a result of the merger of The Home-Stake Royalty  Corporation with
and into the Company as described in Item 4 below.


                         Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

Effective  December 31, 1997, The Home-Stake  Royalty  Corporation,  an Oklahoma
corporation  ("Royalty"),  was merged with and into the Company (the  "Merger").
Pursuant to the Merger,  (i) holders of the outstanding  common stock of Royalty
(other  than the  Company  which also held  shares of common  stock of  Royalty)
received  48.66 shares of the  Company's  Common Stock for each share of Royalty
Common Stock owned at the time of the Merger and (ii) the Company's Common Stock
was split on a 30-for-1  basis.  One whole  share of Common  Stock was issued in
lieu of any fractional  shares  otherwise  issuable to holders of Royalty common
stock in the Merger.

common stock beneficially owned by such parties. Mr. Morris incorrectly reported
454,341  shares of Common Stock as being  acquired in the Merger in exchange for

(a)  Mr. Morris, individually and through his immediate family and a corporation
     controlled by Mr. Morris,  beneficially owns 611,892 shares of Common Stock
     of the Company,  which based on the Company's  Proxy  Statement dated April
     12,  1999,  represents  approximately  14.3% of the  outstanding  shares of
     Common Stock.  Of the shares of Common Stock  beneficially  owned,  291,225
     shares are held in Mr.  Morris' name and 65,522 and 22,384  shares are held
     in an Individual Retirement Account and a KEOGH account,  respectively, for
     his  benefit.  In  addition,  8,883  shares  are held by Morris  Investment
     Management  Company,  of which Mr. Morris is the principal owner. There are
     144,916 shares held by Mr. Morris' wife, 78,660 shares of common stock held
     in trust for the  benefit  of Mr.  Morris'  wife;  and 302 shares of Common
     Stock held for the benefit of two minor  children in  custodianship,  as to
     which Mr. Morris' wife is custodian.

(b)  Mr.  Morris has the sole voting power and the sole  dispositive  power over
     388,014  shares  of  Common  Stock.  He has no  voting  power but has share
     dispositive power with respect to the 223,878 shares held by members of his
     immediate family.

     Martha  Morris,  Mr.  Morris'  wife,  has  sole  voting  power  and  shares
     dispositive power with respect to the shares she holds  individually and as
     custodian  and the  shares  held in trust  for her  benefit.  Mrs.  Morris'
     address is 234 Broughton Lane,  Villanova,  PA 19085.  Mrs. Morris has not,
     during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding, and she has
     not,  during the last five years,  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 judgement,  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. Mrs. Morris is a United States citizen.

(c)  Within the sixty days  preceding  the date of this Schedule 13D, Mr. Morris
