Dear Sir/Madam:
Transmitted for filing is the Form N-CSR for the above-referenced Registrant for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2009.
Please note, this N-CSR relates only to the Registrant’s series Dreyfus Active MidCap Fund (formerly, Dreyfus New Leaders Fund) and does not affect the other series of the Registrant, which has a different fiscal year end and, therefore, different N-CSR reporting requirements. Separate N-CSR Forms will be filed for these series, as appropriate.
Please direct any questions or comments to the attention of the undersigned at 212-922-6817.
Very truly yours, |
