RE: The Seven Seas Series Fund
Rule 497(j) Certification to
Post-Effective Amendment No. 35 Under the 1933 Act
File No. 33-19229
811-5430
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I serve as Legal Counsel to The Seven Seas Series Fund (the "Investment
Company"). I also serve as an officer of the Investment Company. I serve in
similar capacities with the Investment Company's administrator, Frank Russell
Investment Management Company, and other affiliated companies.
As Legal Counsel, I have reviewed the Investment Company's Post-Effective
Amendment No. 35 to the Investment Company's Registration Statement. I hereby
certify that the form of prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
which would have been filed pursuant to Paragraph (c) of Rule 497 does not
differ from that contained in the Post-Effective Amendment No. 35 and is
therefore eligible for filing pursuant to Paragraph (j) of Rule 497. I further
certify that the text of Post-Effective Amendment No. 35 was filed
electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Paragraph (b)
of Rule 485 of the Securities Act of 1933 on December 29, 1995.
Very truly yours,
/s/ J. David Griswold

Vice President, Secretary and
Associate General Counsel
