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,  2000 through June 30, 2000.
Inside,  you' ll find valuable information about how the fund was managed during
the reporting period, including a discussion with the fund's portfolio managers,
Steven Falci and Jocelin Reed.

While  stock prices were little changed on average over the past six months, the
period  was  marked by high levels of volatility and dramatic shifts in investor
sentiment.  Between  January and mid-March, large-cap stocks generally continued
to advance, led by fast-growing technology stocks that, many investors believed,
would  benefit  most  from  the "new economy." Subsequently, however, technology
stocks corrected sharply over concerns about rising interest rates and extremely
high  valuations.  Other  sectors  of  the large-cap stock market also declined,
erasing the gains achieved earlier in the year.

Also,  primarily  because  of  the  precipitous drop in technology stock prices,
value-oriented  stocks generally outperformed growth stocks during the reporting
period,  a  reversal  of  the  trend established over the past several years. In
addition,  small-capitalization  stocks generally outperformed large-cap stocks,
particularly  in  the  value-oriented  segment of the market. In our view, these
short-term  swings  in investor sentiment highlight once again the importance of
broad diversification and a long-term perspective for most investors.

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

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, 2000, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund produced
a  total  return  of -0.55%.(1) In contrast, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Stock  Price  Index ("S&P 500 Index"), produced a total return of -0.43% for the
same  period.(2) The difference in returns is primarily due to transaction costs
and other fund operating expenses.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The  fund  seeks  to match the total return of the S&P 500 Index. To pursue this
goal,  the  fund  generally  invests  in  all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index in
proportion to their weighting in the Index. Often considered a barometer for the
stock  market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 widely held common
stocks and is dominated by large-cap 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 Index 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.  Accordingly,  it  is  composed  of
approximately  375  industrial,  40  utility, 75 financial and 10 transportation
stocks.  Each  stock  is  weighted by its market capitalization. Overall, larger
companies  have  greater  representation in the S&P 500 Index 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 Index. The fund does not attempt to manage market
volatility.

                                                             The Fund


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The  six-month  reporting  period  was  marked  by  high  levels of stock market
volatility  and  changing investor preferences in three areas: technology versus
non-technology  sectors; small-cap versus mid- and large-cap stocks; and growth-
versus value-investment styles.

From  the  beginning  of  the year through mid-March 2000, the U.S. stock market
advanced sharply, driven primarily by strong gains within the technology sector.
During  this  period, the prices of many high-flying technology stocks continued
to  climb,  especially  those  stocks that were associated with Internet-related
products and services. In addition, large-cap stocks underperformed their small-
and  mid-cap  counterparts  and  the  growth style of investing outperformed the
value style of investing.

By  mid-March, however, those trends had generally reversed themselves when many
technology stocks fell out of favor. Even during this downturn in the technology
sector  as  a  whole,  there  were  days when tech stocks bounced back to report
strong  gains,  which  increased  the  stock market's volatility levels. In this
environment,  which  lasted  through  the end of May, large-cap stocks generally
outpaced  small-cap  stocks,  and  the  value style of investing provided better
returns  than  the  growth  style. In June, however, technology stocks rebounded
strongly,  small-cap  stocks  performed  better than large-cap stocks and growth
outperformed value.

During the reporting period, the largest gains within the S&P 500, and therefore
within  the  fund  as  well,  came  from  its  technology  group, which includes
electrical  defense  and  electronic  semiconductors.  In  addition, the S&P 500
Index' s  energy  holdings  such  as oil and gas drilling, natural gas, oil well
equipment  and  services  and  oil exploration and production companies provided
strong   returns,   as   did  its  investment  banking  and  brokerage  stocks,
pharmaceutical, health care and medical products stocks.


Conversely,  the lowest returns of the S&P 500 Index during the reporting period
and  for  the  fund  as  well, were generated from basic materials stocks, which
include  companies  within  the metals, glass and metal containers, steel, paper
and forest products areas. Other industry groups providing disappointing returns
included  hotel  and  motel  companies, consumer staples firms such as household
products  manufacturers,  engineering  and construction companies, long-distance
telecommunications stocks and household furniture and appliances companies.

What is the fund's current strategy?

The  fund  is  an index fund, and its goal is to replicate the return of the S&P
500 Index. Therefore, the fund's strategy is to hold all 500 stocks that make up
the S&P 500 Index in an effort to capture a similar return.

As  of  the  end  of  the reporting period, the largest sector weightings of the
Index, and for the fund as well, were approximately as follows: technology (31%)
;  interest sensitive (17%); healthcare (11%); consumer cyclical (8%); utilities
(7%); producer goods (6%); energy (6%); and consumer staples (5%).

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., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of  Mellon
Financial  Corporation.  Effective  March  22, 2000, Dreyfus Service Corporation
(" DSC" ), a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Dreyfus, became the distributor of the
fund' s  shares,  which  are sold to the public without a sales charge. Prior to
March 22, 2000, Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. was the distributor.

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

The  fund  may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements with financial institutions,
deemed  to  be  creditworthy  by  the  fund' s  Manager, subject to the seller's
agreement  to repurchase and the fund's agreement to resell such securities at a
mutually   agreed   upon  price.  Securities  purchased  subject  to  repurchase
agreements are deposited with the fund's custodian and, pursuant to the terms of
the  repurchase  agreement,  must have an aggregate market value greater than or
equal  to  the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value
of  the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus
accrued  interest,  the  fund  will  require  the  seller  to deposit additional
collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is
not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains
the  right  to  sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any
resulting loss against the seller.

(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  pro-


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (CONTINUED)

visions  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 $500 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, 2000, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

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

(a)  Pursuant  to  an  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. 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,  2000  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, 2000, there was
no expense reimbursement pursuant to the undertaking.

(b)  Under  the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses DSC 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.


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, 2000, the fund was charged $282 pursuant to the transfer agency
agreement.

(c)  Each  Board  member  also  serves  a Board member of other funds within the
Dreyfus complex (collectively, the "Fund Group"). Effective April 25, 2000, each
Board member who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act receives an
annual fee of $25,000 and an attendance fee of $4,000 for each in person meeting
and $500 for telephone meetings. These fees are allocated among the funds in the
Fund  Group.  The  Chairman  of  the  Board  receives  an additional 25% of such
compensation.  Prior  to  April  25,  2000,  each  Board  member  who was not an
" affiliated  person" as defined in the Act received from the fund an annual fee
of  $2,500  and an attendance fee of $500 per meeting. The Chairman of the Board
received  an additional 25% of such compensation. Subject to the fund's Emeritus
Program  Guidelines,  Emeritus  Board Members, if any, receive 50% of the fund's
annual  retainer  fee  and  per  meeting  fee  paid at the time the Board member
achieves emeritus status.

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, 2000, amounted to $441,177,398 and $107,320,055, respectively.

 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    Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (CONTINUED)

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, 2000 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

(b) At June 30, 2000, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments and
financial   futures  was  $1,671,290,628,  consisting  of  $1,968,695,269  gross
unrealized appreciation and $297,404,641 gross unrealized depreciation.

At  June  30,  2000, 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).
