SUPPLEMENT TO FIDELITY'S CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FUNDS APRIL 17, 1998
PROSPECTUS
The following information replaces similar information found in the
"Who May Want to Invest" section on page 4.
These funds may be appropriate for investors in higher tax
brackets who seek high current income that is free from federal and
California income taxes. Each fund's level of risk and potential
reward depend on the quality and maturity of its investments. The
money market funds are managed to keep their share prices stable at
$1.00. The bond fund, with its broader range of investments, has the
potential for higher yields, but also carries a higher degree of risk.
Spartan California Municipal Income is a non-diversified fund .
Non-diversified funds may invest a greater portion of their assets in
securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. As a result,
changes in the market value of a single issuer could cause greater
fluctuations in share value than would occur in a more diversified
fund.
The following information replaces similar information found in the
"Charter" section on page 12.
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal. Fidelity California
Municipal Money Market Fund and Spartan California Municipal Money
Market Fund are diversified funds of Fidelity California
Municipal Trust II. Spartan California Municipal Income Fund is a
non-diversified fund of Fidelity California Municipal Trust. Both
trusts are open-end management investment companies. Fidelity
California Municipal Trust II was organized as a Delaware business
trust on June 20, 1991. Fidelity California Municipal Trust was
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 28, 1983. There
is a remote possibility that one fund might become liable for a
misstatement in the prospectus about another fund.
The following information replaces similar information found in the
"Securities and Investment Practices" section under the heading
"Diversification" on page 19.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry
or type of project. Economic, business, or political changes can
affect all securities of a similar type. A fund that is not
diversified may be more sensitive to changes in the market value of a
single issuer or industry.
RESTRICTIONS: Spartan California Municipal Income is considered
non-diversi fied. Generally, to meet federal tax requirements at
the close of each quarter, the fund does not invest more than
25% of its total a ssets in the securities of any one issuer and,
with respect to 50% of total assets, does not invest more than 5%
of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer. These
limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities or to
securities of other investment companies.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, each money market fund may
not invest more than 5% in the securities of any one issuer. This
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities or to
securities of other money market funds.
Each fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in tax-free
securities that finance similar types of projects.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a

repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements

FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in

approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.

the securities of a single open-end management investment company
managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or
successor with substantially the same fundamental investment
objective, policies and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitations (1), (7), and (i), FMR identifies the
issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In
identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities
responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the
source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an
issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other
political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing
the security.
For purposes of limitation (i), certain securities subject to
guarantees (including insurance, letters of credit and demand
features) are not considered securities of their issuer, but are
subject to separate diversification requirements, in accordance with
industry standard requirements for money market funds.
With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
