Fidelity Select Portfolios: Gold Portfolio and
Fidelity Select Portfolios: Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio
Merger
Notes to Pro Forma Combining Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

 The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Combining Schedule of
Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of August 31,
1999 and the unaudited Pro Forma Combining Statement of Operations for
the year ended August 31, 1999 are intended to present the financial
condition and related results of operations of Gold Portfolio as if
the reorganization with Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio  had
been consummated on September 1, 1998.  Had the pro forma adjustments
not included the effect of the FMR voluntary expense limitations, Pro
Forma Combined Expense reductions would have been $219,560, resulting
in Pro Forma Combined Net Investment Income and Pro Forma Combined Net
Increase in Net Assets resulting from operations of $2,040,715 and
$103,725,073, respectively.

 The pro forma adjustments to these pro forma financial statements are
comprised of:

(a) Reflects the conversion of Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio
    shares as of August 31, 1999.

(b) Increase in fees reflects contractual rates charged against
    combined average net assets.

(c) Decrease in fees reflects net decrease in costs incurred as a
    result of the reorganization including savings from duplicate
    charges.

(d)  Reflects FMR's agreement to voluntarily limit the combined fund's
     operating expenses to 1.54% of average net assets.

(e)  Increase in credits based on rates in effect applied to combined
     funds average net assets.

 The unaudited pro forma combining statements should be read in
conjunction with the separate annual audited financial statements as
of February 28, 1999 for Fidelity Select Portfolios: Gold Portfolio,
and for Fidelity Select Portfolios: Precious Metals and Minerals
Portfolio, which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of
Additional Information to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus.
