Schedule 13D

          Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 and on behalf of Robert L. Priddy (the
     "Reporting Person"), we hereby file with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting
     Person which amends the Schedule 13D filed January 17, 1996 relating to the
     Common Stock of MicroCap Fund, Inc.

Item 1.   Security and Issuer

          No Change


Item 2.   Identity and Background

          No Change


Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

               The Reporting Person plans to nominate individuals for Board of
               Directors.  The Reporting Person believes such nominees would
               support actions to increase shareholder value and reduce the
               discount between the market price of the Common Stock and its net
               asset value per share, including such material actions as a
               change in the dividend policy of the Company, converting the fund
               to an open-end fund, liquidation of a material amount of the
               Company's assets, and a merger, reorganization or liquidation of
               the Company.

               The Reporting Person may acquire additional shares of Common
               Stock or other securities of the Company or sell or otherwise
               dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock or other
               securities of the Company beneficially owned by him.  The
               Reporting Person may take any other action with respect to the
               Company or any of its debt or equity securities in any manner
               permitted by law.

               Except as disclosed in this Item 4 and previously disclosed in
               the prior Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person, the
               Reporting Person has no current plans or proposals which relate
               to or would result in any of the events

               described in Items (a) through (j) of the instructions of Item 4
               of Schedule 13D.

          and CRM in connection with accomplishing the purposes set forth in
          Item 4.  As consideration for this agreement, the Reporting Person and
          CRM have agreed to pay GFCP a

          percentage of the profits realized as a result of such efforts as
          follows:  10% of such profits up to $7.00 per share, and above $7.00
          per share, 20% of such profits (assuming for the purpose of these
          calculations, that the value per share on the date of such agreement
          was $5.00).  In addition, the Reporting Person and CRM have agreed to
          share out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
          activities contemplated by the agreement.

          No written agreement exists with respect to the above described
          agreement between and among the Reporting Person, CRM and GFCP.
          However, it is contemplated that such written agreement, if developed,
          would be filed promptly as an exhibit.

          GFCP and CRM may be deemed to comprise a "group" with respect to the
          securities of the issuer.  A Schedule 13D relating to the Reporting
          Persons composed of Priddy, GFCP, CRM, Pergament, Cramer, the
          Ingleside Company, Rosenthal and Goodness Gardens Inc.  will be filed
