Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Dear Sir or Madam:
We have acted as counsel to Landmark Institutional Trust, a Massachusetts
business trust (the "Trust"), in connection with the Trust's registration,
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of
an indefinite number of Shares of Beneficial Interest (par value $0.00001 per
share) of its series known as Landmark Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves
(the "Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").
We understand that, pursuant to such Rule 24f-2, the Trust proposes to file a
notice (the "Notice") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on October 25, 1995, with respect to the fiscal year of Landmark
Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves ended August 31, 1995, in order to make
definite in number the registration of 575,591,194.15 Shares. This opinion is
being furnished with a view to your filing the same with the Commission in
conjunction with the filing of the Notice.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following described
documents:
(a) a certificate of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts as to the existence of the Trust;
(b) copies, certified by the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and of all amendments
thereto on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts;

(c) a certificate executed by Barbara M. O'Dette, the Assistant Treasurer
of the Trust, as to the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the Trust's
Declaration of Trust and By-Laws and as to the receipt by the Trust of the net
asset value of the Shares covered by the Notice; and
(d) a certificate executed by Molly S. Mugler, the Assistant Secretary of
the Trust, certifying as to, and attaching copies of, the Trust's Declaration
of Trust and all amendments thereto, the Trust's By-Laws and all amendments
thereto and certain votes of the Trustees of the Trust authorizing the issuance
of the Shares covered by the Notice.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
conformity to the originals of all of the documents reviewed by us as copies,
the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in
original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing any
document.
This opinion is based entirely on our review of the documents listed above.
We have made no other review or investigation of any kind whatsoever, and we
have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of the information set
forth in such documents.
This opinion is limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts as applied by courts in such Commonwealth (other
than Massachusetts securities laws, with respect to which we express no
opinion).
We understand that all of the foregoing assumptions and limitations are
acceptable to you.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, please be advised that it is our
opinion that the 575,591,194.15 Shares covered by the Notice were legally
issued and (to the extent still outstanding) are fully paid and

nonassessable, except that shareholders of the Trust may under certain
circumstances be held personally liable for its obligations.
Very truly yours,
BINGHAM, DANA & GOULD
