PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
As we entered 1998, the pesky economic and currency crises in
Southeast Asia were still very much with us. Adding to these concerns
was the possibility that U.S. corporate earnings might decline in the
face of lower global product demand. But the news wasn't all bad as
low inflation, low interest rates and moderate economic growth
continued to prevail. The bond market performed well, as it benefited
from the favorable economic backdrop and a "flight-to-safety"
mentality on the part of stock investors. 
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the
information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,

FIDELITY TARGET TIMELINE 1999
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at a fund's income, as
reflected in its yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain expenses, the total returns and dividends would
have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on February 8, 1996. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's return to
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - a market value weighted
performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues,
including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed
securities, with maturities of at least one year. You can also compare
the fund to the average of the total returns of U.S. Treasury STRIPS
maturing on 8/15/99 and 11/15/99, which reflects the performance of
zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to the fund's. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Target Timeline 1999 on February 8, 1996, when
the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 1998, the value
of the investment would be $11,018 - a 10.18% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would be $11,449 - a
14.49% increase. If $10,000 was put in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (8/15/99
and 11/15/99), it would be valued at $11,007 - a 10.07% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
HOW A FUND DID YESTERDAY IS 
NO GUARANTEE OF HOW IT WILL DO 
TOMORROW. BOND PRICES, FOR 
EXAMPLE, GENERALLY MOVE IN THE 
OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST 
RATES. IN TURN, THE SHARE PRICE, 
RETURN AND YIELD OF A FUND THAT 
INVESTS IN BONDS WILL VARY. THAT 
MEANS IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES 
DURING A MARKET DOWNTURN, YOU 
MIGHT LOSE MONEY. BUT IF YOU CAN 
RIDE OUT THE MARKET'S UPS AND 
DOWNS, YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN.

The annualized dividend rate is based on an average net asset value of

$9.53 over the past one year. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain expenses, the yield
would have been 4.59%.

$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's return to
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - a market value weighted
performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues,
including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed
securities, with maturities of at least one year. You can also compare
the fund to the average of the total returns of U.S. Treasury STRIPS
maturing on 8/15/01 and 11/15/01, which reflects the performance of
zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to the fund's. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Target Timeline 2001 on February 8, 1996, when
the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 1998, the value
of the investment would be $11,174 - a 11.74% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would be $11,449 - a
14.49% increase. If $10,000 was put in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (8/15/01
and 11/15/01), it would be valued at $11,090 - a 10.90% increase.

TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital
appreciation returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends
paid by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the
amount paid by the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions
and changes in the fund's share price. Both returns assume the
dividends or capital gains paid by the fund are reinvested, if any.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period.
The annualized dividend rate is based on an average net asset value of
$9.72 over the past one month, $9.59 over the past six months, and
$9.52 over the past one year. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain expenses, the yield
would have been 4.63%.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at a fund's income, as
reflected in its yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain expenses, the total returns and dividends would
have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on February 8, 1996. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's return to
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - a market value weighted
performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues,
including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed
securities, with maturities of at least one year. You can also compare
the fund to the average of the total returns of U.S. Treasury STRIPS
maturing on 8/15/03 and 11/15/03, which reflects the performance of
zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to the fund's. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

appreciation returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends
paid by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the
amount paid by the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions
and changes in the fund's share price. Both returns assume the
dividends or capital gains paid by the fund are reinvested, if any.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period.
The annualized dividend rate is based on an average net asset value of
$9.85 over the past one month, $9.66 over the past six months, and
$9.51 over the past one year. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain expenses, the yield
would have been 4.94%.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
 
MARKET RECAP
A lack of inflationary pressure 
resulted in a favorable investing 
climate for bonds during the six 
months that ended January 31, 
1998.  The Lehman Brothers 
Aggregate Bond Index - a broad 
gauge of the U.S. taxable 
investment-grade bond market - 
returned 4.90% during this period. 
The bond market fared well in the 
months of August and September, 
spurred on by the continued 
strength of the U.S. economy 
and a reluctance on the part of the 
Federal Reserve Board to raise 
interest rates. Global volatility and 
historically low interest rates were 
the main stories in the last quarter 
of 1997.  Financial problems in 
Asia came to a head in October, 
resulting in a "flight to quality."  
Wary stock investors sought 
investments offering lower 
volatility, helping the U.S. bond 
market - especially U.S. 
Treasuries - surge.  The Lehman 
Brothers Corporate Bond Index 
returned 4.40% for the six months.  
Corporate bonds benefited from 
continued economic growth and 
demand for yield, although they 
faltered somewhat in January 
1998 as investors feared a 
slowdown in demand in Asia 
would eat into corporate earnings.  
Despite increased prepayment 
activity due to lower rates, 
mortgage-backed bonds also 
fared relatively well, with the 
Lehman Brothers 
Mortgage-Backed Securities 
Index returning 4.45%.
An interview with Christine Thompson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Target Timeline Funds 1999, 2001, 2003
Q. HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM, CHRISTINE?
A. The funds performed in line with their investment objectives. For
the six months that ended January 31, 1998, Target Timeline 1999, 2001
and 2003 returned 3.50%, 4.35% and 5.29%, respectively. For the same
period, U.S. Treasury STRIPS maturing at approximately the same time
as the funds (August and November 1999, 2001 and 2003) averaged 3.53%,
4.64% and 5.77%, respectively. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index had a six-month return of 4.90%. For the 12 months that ended
January 31, 1998, Target Timeline 1999, 2001 and 2003 returned 7.37%,
9.62% and 11.76%, respectively. The U.S. Treasury STRIPS had
respective returns of 7.27%, 9.44% and 12.01% during the 12-month
period, while the Lehman Brothers index returned 10.72%.
Q. YOU SAID THE FUNDS PERFORMED IN LINE WITH THEIR GOALS. HOW DO YOU
GAUGE THEIR PERFORMANCE?
A. The funds are structured so that their interest-rate sensitivity,
and therefore return patterns, will closely resemble that of a
zero-coupon bond - a security that doesn't make periodic interest
payments, but rather is sold at a discount to what its value will be
at maturity. The average annual return earned by such an investment
when it is held to maturity is equal to its yield at the time of
purchase. Similarly, Target Timeline funds are set up so that
investors' average annual rate of return is also approximated by the
yield on the portfolio at the time of purchase. 
Q. HOW DO YOU VIEW THE FUNDS' PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO THE LEHMAN
AGGREGATE BOND INDEX?
A. The funds' investment objective is to control interest-rate
sensitivity over a specified time horizon, namely until each fund's
maturity date. Each fund's duration, a measure of interest-rate
sensitivity, is managed to decline over time as the funds approach
their maturity dates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, on the
other hand, is an indication of the performance of the overall
investment-grade bond market, which by design is rebalanced monthly to
include securities in the marketplace with more than one year to
maturity. Consequently, over time, the funds' duration characteristics
and return patterns may not resemble the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index.
Q. HOW DID CORPORATE BONDS PERFORM?
A. Over the past several years, valuation levels across different
sectors of the corporate bond market became very compressed - meaning
bonds of varying credit qualities and cash-flow structures traded at
increasingly tight valuation levels. In October, however, corporate
bonds broke that trend and we saw increased differentiation and
cheapening  valuations in the sector. Overall, corporate bonds - as a
group - performed poorly versus Treasuries throughout the fourth
quarter of 1997 and into the first quarter of 1998. In addition to
credit concerns tied to the deteriorating situation in Asia, corporate
bond prices were hurt by an increased supply of new issues. As
interest rates declined, corporations increasingly began to view the
environment as attractive for locking in longer-term funding.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MARKET?
A. I think the market will continue to reward cleanly structured
corporate bonds - such as non-callable securities or those that can't
be redeemed by the issuer before maturity - and U.S. government
securities. I believe Fidelity's research team can benefit the funds'
returns even more in this environment of increased differentiation in
valuation levels by identifying issuers with improving credit
qualities. I believe this research will continue to allow the Target
Timeline funds to meet their objectives in a variety of market
environments.

CHRISTINE THOMPSON ON 
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH:
"Quantitative research allows us to 
understand how our funds are likely 
to perform relative to the market 
in a variety of interest-rate 
environments and market 
scenarios. Our research draws on 
historical performance to model 
how individual securities react 
and allows us to combine certain 
groupings of securities to examine 
their performance together under 
various circumstances. 
"Quantitative research allows us to 
analyze issues such as: How do the 
payment patterns of the bonds in 
a portfolio come together? How 
would you expect these valuation 
measures to adjust and to offset 
one another in different market 
environments? If we re-lived in the 
future some of the extreme 
environments that we've seen in 
the past, what kind of returns 
would you expect this portfolio to 
have relative to the overall 
market? 
"Being able to model a portfolio 
that contains securities with many 
different characteristics to find 
out how the portfolio is likely to 
perform in an extreme 
interest-rate environment, for 
example, is very useful in 
controlling risks and positioning 
the fund."

DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH
A FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER
FACTORS ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE.
ACCORDINGLY, A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS
EXAMPLE.

DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH
A FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER
FACTORS ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE.
ACCORDINGLY, A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS
EXAMPLE.

For the period ended January 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Target Timeline 1999, Fidelity Target Timeline 2001 and
Fidelity Target Timeline 2003 (the funds) are funds of Fidelity Boston
Street Trust (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business
trust. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for the fiscal year. The schedules of investments
include information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses
deferred due to wash sales. 
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES - CONTINUED
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the funds less than 90 days are
subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the
redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the funds, is accounted
for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR),
may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading
accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the funds, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the funds' investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Certain funds are permitted to invest in
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on
resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are
registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming
negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may
be difficult. At the end of the period, the funds had no investments
in restricted securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities), is included under the caption "Other
Information" at the end of each applicable fund's schedule of
investments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
each fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management

CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .43% of average net assets
for each fund. 
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fee was
equivalent to an annualized rate of .20% of the average net assets for
each fund.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains each fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of .35% of average net assets.
In addition, certain funds have entered into an arrangement with their
custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of each applicable fund's
expenses.
For the period, the reductions under these arrangements are shown
under the caption "Other Information" on each applicable fund's
Statement of Operations.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, FMR and its affiliates were record owners of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the following funds:
