SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice to Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Barr Laboratories, Inc., Common Stock, $0.01 Par 
Value) File No. 1-9860

February 25, 1998.
    Barr Laboratories, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Security also is listed for trading on the New York Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'') pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 
8A that became effective February 6, 1998. Trading in the security on 
the NYSE commenced on February 10, 1998.
    The Board of Directors of the Company previously determined that it 
was in the best interests of the Company to list its Security on the 
NYSE. The Company seeks to avoid the costs and the division of the 
market that may result from listing the Security on the Amex and the 
NYSE. The Board unanimously approved a resolution on January 16, 1998, 
to take all actions necessary to withdraw the Company's Security from 
listing and registration on the Amex.
    The Company has complied with Amex Rule 18 by notifying the 
Exchange of its intention to withdraw the Security from listing and 
registration

on the Exchange, and by providing the Exchange with the resolutions 
that set forth the facts and reasons supporting the proposed 
withdrawal.
    By letter dated February 4, 1998, the Exchange informed the Company 
that it would not object to the withdrawal of the Security from listing 
and registration on the Exchange.
    Any interested person may, on or before March 18, 1998, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Exchange 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
