LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2005, through October 31, 2006.
Although reports of slower economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely. Stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide,which should continue to support global economic growth. Indeed, while U.S. monetary policy has tightened to the borderline between a neutral policy and a restrictive policy, most foreign monetary policies have tightened only from stimulative to neutral, leaving room for further expansion.
The financial markets seem to concur with our view that a gradual economic slowdown is more likely than a recession, as evidenced by upward pressure on the price-earnings multiples of high-quality, large-capitalization stocks. Investors expecting generally slower profit growth have begun to favor companies with the ability to sustain profitability in a slower economic environment.This pattern is consistent with previous midcycle slowdowns.As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.
For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s portfolio manager.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Tom Durante, CFA, Portfolio Manager
How did Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2006, Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund produced a total return of 12.95% .1 The Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index (“S&P 400 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a total return of 13.43% for the same period.2,3
Despite bouts of market weakness arising from investors’ economic, inflation and interest-rate concerns, a growing global economy and improved corporate earnings helped support midcap stock prices during most of the reporting period. Gains were particularly pronounced in the financials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors.The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 400 Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected by the S&P 400 Index.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 400 Index by generally investing in all 400 stocks in the S&P 400 Index, in proportion to their respective weightings.The fund may also use stock index futures whose performance is tied to the S&P 400 Index as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.The S&P 400 Index is composed of 400 stocks of midsize domestic companies across 10 economic sectors. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 400 Index than smaller ones.
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
During the first half of the reporting period, U.S. economic growth generally remained strong, bolstered by healthy corporate earnings, low unemployment and subdued inflation.As a result, stock prices rose moderately despite occasional concerns that rising short-term interest rates and higher energy prices might erode consumer spending and reduce the rate of economic growth.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued) |
However, stock prices fell sharply in May after hawkish comments from members of the Federal Reserve Board caused investors to revise upward their expectations for inflation and short-term interest rates, sparking renewed concerns about the potential effects of higher borrowing costs and soaring energy prices on the economy. During this market downturn, large-cap stocks generally began to fare better than midcap stocks as investors turned toward well-established businesses with track records of consistent earnings under a variety of economic conditions. As housing markets softened and employment gains moderated over the remainder of the reporting period, large-cap stocks continued to gain value at a faster rate than small- and midcap stocks, marking the apparent start of a new phase of the economic cycle.
Some of the midcap market’s stronger gains for the reporting period were produced by stocks in the financials sector, where real estate investment trusts (REITs) posted especially positive returns. During the reporting period,a growing number of investors added a REIT component to their portfolios in an attempt to hedge against the possibility of unanticipated inflation in the marketplace.Among the different segments of the REIT market, the apartment sector produced especially attractive gains as some potential homebuyers chose to rent apartments instead until housing prices stabilize. In addition, regional malls fared well due to persistent strength in consumer spending and low unemployment rates.
Specialty retailers within the consumer discretionary area also contributed positively to the S&P 400 Index’s performance.Top performers included apparel stores located in regional malls that cater to younger consumers.
In the information technology sector, semiconductor manufacturers posted attractive results due to rising demand for microchips from makers of electronics goods, such as video iPods, flat screen televisions and video game consoles. Moreover, many of these companies cut costs by moving a portion of their manufacturing operations overseas. Data processing stocks also performed well, including transfer agents that process transactions for mutual fund companies.

On the other hand, media stocks and homebuilders detracted from the S&P 400 Index’s overall performance. Radio and newspaper stocks were hurt by the steady migration of advertising revenues to non-traditional media, such as the Internet. Homebuilding stocks declined during the reporting period due to the slowdown in the U.S. housing market, which has resulted in sharply higher inventory levels.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
As an index fund, our strategy is to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 400 Index by maintaining an asset allocation that closely approximates that of the S&P 400 Index. In our view, an investment in a broadly diversified midcap index fund, such as Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund, Inc., may help investors in their efforts to manage the risks associated with midcap investing by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

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. Return figure provided reflects the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an agreement in effect that may be extended, terminated or modified. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s return would have been lower. 2 SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions.The Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged total return index measuring the performance of the midsize company segment of the U.S. market. 3 “Standard & Poor’s®,”“S&P®” and “Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index” are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and have been licensed for use by the fund.The fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor’s and Standard & Poor’s makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the fund. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to match the performance of the Standard & Poor’s Midcap 400 Index.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the Distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sale price. 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, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value,
26 |
such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price.
On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.
(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, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified
The Fund 27
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
institutions. It is the fund’s policy, that at originations, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the 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) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and 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
28 |
fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(e) 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.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.
At October 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $17,179,516, undistributed capital gains $86,329,864 and unrealized appreciation $484,163,604.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005, were as follows: ordinary income $28,111,105 and $16,244,879 and long-term capital gains $78,086,590 and $40,148,757, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed
The Fund 29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
investment income-net by $2,198,440 and increased net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit: |
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 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 based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.
The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facility during the period ended October 31, 2006, was approximately $85,100 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.51% .
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all of the fund’s expenses, except management fees, brokerage commissions, taxes, commitment fees, interest fees and expenses of non-interested Board members (including counsel fees), Shareholder Services Plan fees and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fees and expenses of the non-interested Board members (including counsel fees). Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex (collectively, the “Fund Group”). Each Board member receives an annual fee of $40,000 and a fee of $5,000 for each meeting attended 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. Subject to the fund’s
30 |
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.Amounts required to be paid by the fund directly to the non-interested Board members, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Board members.
(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $5,672,605 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $480,270 and shareholders services fee of $480,270.
(c) A 1% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within six months following the date of issuance, subject to exceptions including redemptions made through the use of the fund’s exchange privilege.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $357,969,650 and $382,017,405, respectively.
The Fund 31
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
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.Accordingly, 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 broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents.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 October 31, 2006, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,139,541,389; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $484,163,604, consisting of $617,230,547 gross unrealized appreciation and $133,066,943 gross unrealized depreciation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Directors Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund, Inc. including the statements of investments and financial futures, as of October 31, 2006 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of October 31, 2006 and confirmation of securities not held by the custodian by correspondence with oth-ers.We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Midcap Index Fund at October 31, 2006 the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Feldman is "independent" as defined by the SEC for purposes of audit committee financial expert determinations.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the "Reporting Periods") for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant (the "Auditor") for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $33,691 in 2005 and $35,292 in 2006.

These services consisted of security counts required by Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for non-audit assurance and related services by the Auditor to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-investment adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant ("Service Affiliates"), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the Service Affiliate, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $0 in 2005 and $0 in 2006.
Note: For the second paragraph in each of (b) through (d) of this Item 4, certain of such services were not pre-approved prior to May 6, 2003, when such services were required to be pre-approved. On and after May 6, 2003, 100% of all services provided by the Auditor were pre-approved as required. For comparative purposes, the fees shown assume that all such services were pre-approved, including services that were not pre-approved prior to the compliance date of the pre-approval requirement.
(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning ("Tax Services") were $4,181 in 2005 and $4,431 in 2006.

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for Tax Services by the Auditor to Service Affiliates which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $0 in 2005 and $0 in 2006.
(d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item, were $875 in 2005 and $2,433 in 2006.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Registrant's Audit Committee has established policies and procedures (the "Policy") for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of the Auditor's engagements for non-audit services to the Registrant and Service Affiliates without specific case-by-case consideration. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.
Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the Reporting Periods were $755,822 in 2005 and $436,321 in 2006.
Auditor Independence. The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence.
