shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value ("Common Stock"), of
Starrett Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company") as
set forth below.  

          The purpose of this filing is to report that Paul
Milstein, Seymour Milstein, Henry Benach and Oded Aboodi (the
"Sellers") and The Related Companies, L.P., the parties to the
letter of intent dated January 9, 1997 (the "Parties" and the

further information with respect to the transfer of certain
shares of Common Stock to the Foundation previously reported on
Amendment No. 5 and other transfers of shares of Common Stock as
described herein, and makes certain minor corrections in the
information previously provided in Schedule 13D.

follows:
     Paul Milstein  0         (0%)
