The fund could be adversely affected if the computer systems used by The Dreyfus
Corporation and the fund's other service providers do not properly process and
calculate date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. The Dreyfus
Corporation is working to avoid Year 2000-related problems in its systems and to
obtain assurances from other service providers that they are taking similar
steps. In addition, issuers of securities in which the fund invests may be
adversely affected by Year 2000-related problems. This could have an impact on
the value of the fund's investments and its share price.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We  are  pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Stock Index Fund,
covering the six-month period from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999. Inside
you' ll  find  valuable  information  about  how the fund was managed during the
period,  including a discussion with the fund's portfolio managers, Steven Falci
and Jocelin Reed.

The  past  six  months  have  been  rewarding  for most equity investors. Strong
economic  growth,  low  inflation and high levels of consumer spending supported
continued  strength  in the stocks of many large companies. Several major market
indices set new records, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average's first-ever
close  above the 10,000 level. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index and the technology-laden NASDAQ Index also recorded new highs.

Beginning   in  April,  many  previously  out-of-favor  market  sectors  rallied
strongly,  including  value-oriented  stocks. At the same time, large-cap growth
stocks  appear  to  have  paused  in  their  advance. This has helped narrow the
valuation  gap that had developed over the past several years between the growth
and value sectors of the large-cap stock market.

We  appreciate  your confidence over the past six months, and we look forward to
your continued participation in Dreyfus Stock Index Fund.

Sincerely,


Stephen E. Canter

President and Chief Investment Officer

The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Steven Falci and Jocelin Reed, Portfolio Managers

How did Dreyfus Stock Index Fund perform  relative to its benchmark?

For  the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund produced
a  total  return  of  12.14%.(1) The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index  (S& P  500) , produced  a  12.38% return for the same time period.(2) The
difference  in  returns  is  accounted  for  by transaction costs and other fund
operating expenses.

What is the fund's investment approach?

As  an  index  fund,  we seek to match the total return of the S&P 500. To reach
that  goal,  the portfolio generally invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 in
proportion  to  their weighting in the S&P 500. Often considered a barometer for
the  stock  market  in general, the S&P 500 is made up of 500 widely held common
stocks.  It  is dominated by large blue chip stocks, which, when combined, cover
nearly 75% of the total U.S. market capitalization.

However,  it  is  important  to note that the S&P 500 is not composed of the 500
largest  companies;  rather,  it  is  designed  to  capture  the returns of many
different sectors of the U.S. economy. Generally speaking, it is composed of 400
industrial, 40 utility, 40 financial and 20 transportation stocks. Each stock is
weighted  by  its  market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater
representation  in  the  S& P 500 than smaller ones. The fund may also use stock
index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.

Dreyfus  Stock  Index  Fund  uses  a passive management approach: all investment
decisions  are made based on the fund's objective, which is to seek to match the
performance  of  the  S& P  500.  The  fund  does  not  attempt to manage market
volatility.

                                                             The Fund

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

During the first three months of the period, the S&P 500 was driven primarily by
a trend that had existed for some time, that is, by a very narrow list of highly
priced growth stocks. In fact, during that time period, the portfolio, mirroring
the  S& P 500, benefited most notably from two holdings. The first is Microsoft,
the largest holding of the S&P 500 (and, accordingly, the largest holding of the
portfolio)  as  of June 30, 1999. The second is America Online, a stock that was
added  to  the  S&P 500 in December 1998. In fact, these two stocks performed so
well that they are credited with producing a full third of the S&P 500's advance
in the first quarter of 1999.

However,  mid-period,  market sentiment shifted away from growth stocks and more
toward the value-oriented stocks that had previously been out of favor. In terms
of  the  strongest  performing  groups  within  the S&P 500 during the six-month
period,  the  largest  gains came from the retail group, which includes footwear
and  specialty  apparel  companies, and the financial area, including investment
banking   and  brokerage  firms.  In  response  to  the  stock  market' s  newly
rediscovered  preference  for traditional value-oriented stocks, including those
within  the  energy  and  basic  materials  sectors,  the  S&P 500's oil and gas
drilling  and  equipment  holdings  provided  strong returns, as did many of its
metals, aluminum and specialty chemical stocks.

On  the other hand, the poorest performing returns of the S&P 500, and therefore
of  the  portfolio as well, were generated from its food and health distributing
companies  and housing manufacturers. In addition, its tobacco holdings provided
disappointing returns, primarily due to ongoing litigation problems.

What is the fund's current strategy?

Because  the fund is an index portfolio, its goal is to replicate the returns of
the  S& P  500.  To  understand  how  index  investing  works, it's important to
recognize  the differences associated with a passive index manager and an active
manager.  The  active manager typically makes decisions about buying and selling
stocks  based  on  economic,  financial and market conditions. The passive index
manager,  on the other hand, buys and holds the stocks in the index in an effort
to match its returns.

A  key advantage of indexing stocks is the lower costs incurred for professional
research. Because the portfolio's security selection is based strictly on the S&
P 500, the portfolio is able to avoid costly proprietary research.

(1)  TOTAL RETURN INCLUDES REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND ANY CAPITAL GAINS PAID.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. SHARE PRICE AND INVESTMENT
RETURN FLUCTUATE SUCH THAT UPON REDEMPTION, FUND SHARES MAY BE WORTH MORE OR
LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DOES NOT REFLECT THE
DEDUCTION OF ADDITIONAL CHARGES AND EXPENSES IMPOSED IN CONNECTION WITH
INVESTING IN VARIABLE INSURANCE CONTRACTS, WHICH WILL REDUCE RETURNS.

(2)  SOURCE: LIPPER ANALYTICAL SERVICES, INC. -- REFLECTS THE REINVESTMENT OF
INCOME DIVIDENDS AND, WHERE APPLICABLE, CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE STANDARD

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1--Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Stock Index Fund (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company
Act  of  1940,  as amended (the "Act"), as a non-diversified open-end management
investment  company,  that  is  intended  to  be  a funding vehicle for variable
annuity  contracts  and  variable  life  insurance policies to be offered by the
separate  accounts  of life insurance companies. The fund's investment objective
is  to  provide  investment  results  that  correspond  to  the  price and yield
performance  of publicly traded common stocks as represented by the Standard and
Poor' s  500  Composite  Stock Price Index.  The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus")
serves  as the fund's manager and Mellon Equity Associates ("Mellon Equity"), an
affiliate  of  Dreyfus,  serves as the fund's index manager. Dreyfus is a direct
subsidiary  of  Mellon  Bank,  N.A.   Premier  Mutual Fund Services, Inc. is the
distributor of the fund's shares, which are sold without a sales charge.

The  fund' s  financial  statements  are  prepared  in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which may require the use of management estimates
and assumptions.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities (including financial futures)
are  valued  at  the  last  sales price on the securities exchange on which such
securities  are  primarily  traded  or  at  the last sales price on the national
securities  market.   Securities  not  listed  on  an  exchange  or the national
securities  market,  or  securities  for  which  there were no transactions, are
valued  at  the  average  of the most recent bid and asked prices.  Bid price is
used  when  no asked price is available.  Securities for which there are no such
valuations  are  valued  at  fair  value  as  determined in good faith under the
direction of the Board of Directors.

(B)  SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded  on  a  trade  date  basis.   Realized  gain  and  loss from securities
transactions  are  recorded  on  the  identified cost basis.  Dividend income is
recognized    on    the    ex-dividend    date    and    interest

<PAGE 26>


income, including, where applicable, amortization of discount on investments, is
recognized    on    the    accrual    basis.

(C)  DIVIDENDS  TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid on a quarterly basis.
Dividends  from  net  realized  capital  gain  are  normally  declared  and paid
annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply
with  the  distribution  requirements  of  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended  (the  "Code" ).  To  the  extent  that net realized capital gain can be
offset  by  capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to
distribute such gain.

(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as
a  regulated  investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests
of  its  shareholders,  by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code,
and  to  make  distributions  of  taxable  income  sufficient to relieve it from
substantially all Federal income and excise taxes.

NOTE 2--Bank Line of Credit:

The  fund  participates  with  other  Dreyfus-managed  funds  in  a $600 million
redemption  credit  facility  (the  "Facility" ) to be utilized for temporary or
emergency  purposes,  including  the  financing  of  redemptions.  In connection
therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of
the  Facility.   Interest  is  charged  to the fund at rates based on prevailing
market  rates in effect at the time of borrowings.  During the period ended June
30, 1999, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3--Management Fee, Index-Management Fee and Other Transactions With
Affiliates:

(A)  Pursuant  to  a  Management  Agreement  with Dreyfus, the Management fee is
computed  at  the  annual  rate of .245 of 1% of the value of the fund's average
daily    net    assets,    and    is    payable    monthly.     The    Fund

<PAGE 27>


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (CONTINUED)

Dreyfus  has  agreed to pay Mellon Equity, a monthly index-management fee at the
annual  rate  of .095 of 1% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets.
Dreyfus  has  undertaken  from  January  1,  1999 until such a time as they give
shareholders  at  least  180 days notice to the contrary that if any full fiscal
year  the  fund' s  aggregate  expenses,  exclusive  of  brokerage  commissions,
transaction  fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of .40 of 1%
of the fund's average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payments to
be  made  to  Dreyfus,  or  Dreyfus  will bear, such excess expense.  During the
period  ended  June 30, 1999, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the
undertaking.

(B)  Under  the  Shareholder  Services Plan, the fund reimburses Dreyfus Service
Corporation,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Dreyfus, an amount not to exceed an
annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets for
certain   allocated  expenses  with  respect  to  servicing  and/or  maintaining
shareholder  accounts.   During  the  period  ended  June 30, 1999, the fund was
charged $2,380 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The  fund  compensates  Dreyfus  Transfer,  Inc.,  a  wholly-owned subsidiary of
Dreyfus,   under  a  transfer  agency  agreement  for  providing  personnel  and
facilities  to perform transfer agency services for the fund.  During the period
ended  June  30, 1999, the fund was charged $310 pursuant to the transfer agency
agreement.

(C)  Each  director  who  is  not  an  "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the fund an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of $500 per
meeting.   The  Chairman  of  the  Board  receives  an  additional  25%  of such
compensation.

NOTE 4--Securities Transactions:

(A)  The  aggregate  amount  of  purchases  and  sales of investment securities,
excluding  short-term  securities and financial futures, during the period ended
June 30, 1999, amounted to $652,051,343 and $50,767,617, respectively.


<PAGE 28>


The  fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to
or  protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as
a  result  of  changes  in  the  value  of the underlying financial instruments.
Investments in financial futures require the fund to "mark to market" on a daily
basis,  which  reflects  the  change  in the market value of the contract at the
close  of each day's trading.  Typically, variation margin payments are received
or  made  to  reflect  daily  unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are
closed,  the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.  These investments require
initial  margin  deposits  with  a  custodian,  which  consist  of  cash or cash
equivalents,  up  to  approximately  10%  of the contract amount.  The amount of
these  deposits  is  determined  by  the exchange or Board of Trade on which the
contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open at June 30, 1999 are
set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

(B) At June 30, 1999, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments and
financial   futures  was  $1,416,854,511,  consisting  of  $1,466,258,527  gross
unrealized appreciation and $49,404,016 gross unrealized depreciation.

At  June  30, 1999, the cost of investments for Federal income tax  purposes was
substantially  the  same  as  the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the
Statement of Investments).
