A new second note is added to the "Notes to Fees and Expenses Table," as follows: Beginning on or about November 17, 2006, if the value of your account is less than $2,500, the Fund will deduct a $15 annual small balance account fee from your account. The small balance account fee will also be charged on accounts invested in Class L, M or X shares (these share classes are currently not offered for sale). Thereafter, beginning in 2007, the $15 annual small balance account fee will be assessed during the 4th calendar quarter of each year. Any applicable CDSC on the shares redeemed to pay the $15 small balance account fee will be waived. The $15 small balance account fee will not be charged on: (i) accounts during the first six months from inception of the account, (ii) omnibus accounts, (iii) institutional accounts, (iv) group retirement plans, and (v) Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") accounts or employee savings plan accounts. For more information, see "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares - Small Balance Account Fee" in the Statement of Additional Information. 3. The table under the caption "Share Class Comparison" is amended by deleting the columns headed Class A, Class B and Class C, and replacing them with the following: Class A Class B Class C Minimum purchase amount $1,000 $1,000 $2,500 Minimum purchase amount beginning on or about November 17, 2006 $2,500 $2,500 $2,500 Minimum amount for subsequent purchases $100 $100 $100 Maximum initial sales charge 5.5% of the public offering price None None Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) (as a percentage of the lower of original purchase price or sale proceeds) 1% (on investments of $1 million or more redeemed within 1 year) 5% (Year 1) 4% (Year 2) 3% (Year 3) 2% (Year 4) 1% (Year 5/6) 0% (Year 7) 1% (year 1) Annual distribution and service (12b-1) fees (shown as a percentage of average daily net assets) ..30 of 1% (.25 of 1% currently) 1% 1% 4.

The minimum initial and subsequent investment for purchases made through the Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") is $50. Effective on or about November 17, 2006: (i) the minimum initial investment for retirement accounts and custodial accounts for minors is $1,000, and (ii) subsequent investments through newly- established AIP accounts must be at least $1,200 annually. Prior thereto, the minimum investment requirements do not apply to certain retirement and custodial accounts for minors. For more information, see "Additional Shareholder Services." 5. The second and third notes under the caption "Notes to Share Class Comparison Table" are deleted and replaced with the following: Beginning on or about November 17, 2006, if the value of your Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y account is less than $2,500, the Fund will deduct a $15 annual small balance account fee from your account. Thereafter, beginning in 2007, the $15 annual small balance account fee will be assessed during the 4th calendar quarter of each year. Any applicable CDSC on the shares redeemed to pay the $15 small balance account fee will be waived. The $15 small balance account fee will not be charged on: (i) accounts during the first six months from inception of the account, (ii) omnibus accounts, (iii ) institutional accounts, (iv) group retirement plans, and (v) Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") accounts or employee savings plan accounts. For more information, see "Fees and Expenses" and the table captioned "Shareholder Fees" in this Prospectus, and "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares - Small Balance Account Fee" in the Statement of Additional Information. For more information about the CDSC and how it is calculated, see "How to Sell Your Shares -- Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)." Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a 1% CDSC, although they are not subject to an initial sales charge. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans. 6. The following is added immediately following the caption "Qualifying for Class Z Shares" Institutional Investors. Various institutional investors may purchase Class Z shares, including corporations, banks, governmental entities , municipalities, and IRS section 501 entities, such as foundations and endowments. The minimum initial investment for such investors is $10 million. Institutional investors are responsible for indicating their eligibility to purchase Class Z Shares at the time of purchase. 7. The section captioned "How to Sell Shares - Small Accounts" is deleted and replaced with the following: Involuntary Redemption of Small Accounts. Beginning on or about November 10, 2006, if the value of your account is less than $500 for any reason, we may sell the rest of your shares (without charging any CDSC) and close your account. We would do this to minimize the Fund's expenses paid by other shareholders. The involuntary sale provisions do not apply to Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") accounts, employee savings plan accounts, payroll deduction plan accounts, or retirement accounts (such as a 401(k) plan, an IRA or other qualified or tax-deferred plan or account). Prior thereto, if you make a sale that reduces your account value to less than $500, we may sell the rest of your shares (without charging any CDSC) and close your account; this involuntary sale does not apply to shareholders who own their shares as part of a retirement account. For more information, see "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares - Involuntary Redemption" in the Statement of Additional Information. Note that beginning November 17, 2006, if the value of your account is less than $2,500 (with certain exclusions), a $15 annual small balance account fee will be deducted from your account; any applicable CDSC on the shares redeemed to pay the $15 small balance account fee will be waived. For more information, see "Fees and Expenses" and the table captioned "Shareholder Fees" in this Prospectus, and "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares - Small Balance Account Fee" in the Statement of Additional Information.

INTERNational Reorganization Target Fund Acquiring Fund Jennison Global Growth Fund of Prudential World Fund, Inc. Dryden International Equity Fund of Prudential World Fund, Inc. Pursuant to these proposals, the assets and liabilities of each Target Fund would be exchanged for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund shares to be received by Target Fund shareholders in a reorganization will be equal in value, will be of the same class, and will be subject to the same distribution fees, account maintenance fees, and sales charges, including contingent deferred sales charges, if any, as the Target Fund shares held by such shareholders immediately prior to the reorganization. Each reorganization transaction is subject to approval by the shareholders of the relevant Target Fund. It is anticipated that proxy statements/prospectuses relating to the transactions will be mailed to Acquired Fund shareholders on or about August 2006 and that the special meetings of Target Fund shareholders will be held on or about October 2006. Shareholder approval of any one reorganization is not contingent upon shareholder approval of any other reorganization. Under the terms of the proposals, shareholders of a Target Fund would become shareholders of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. No sales charges would be imposed in connection with the proposed transfer. The Acquiring Funds and the Target Funds anticipate obtaining opinions of special tax counsel that the transactions will not result in any adverse federal income tax consequences to any Acquiring Fund, any Target Fund, or their respective shareholders.

Dryden California Municipal Fund/ California Series EX-99.77B ACCT LTTR 7 auditltrcalincomeseries.txt AUDITOR LETTER Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Dryden California Municipal Fund -California Income Series In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Dryden California Municipal Fund -California Income Series (hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of and for the year ended August 31, 2006,in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered its internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, 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. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such internal control includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of August 31, 2006. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Thereafter, beginning in 2007, the $15 annual small balance account fee will be assessed during the 4 th calendar quarter of each year. Any applicable CDSC on the shares redeemed to pay the $15 small balance account fee will be waived.

LR0045 EX-99.77B ACCT LTTR 9 auditltrcalseries.txt AUDITOR LETTER Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Dryden California Municipal Fund -California Series In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Dryden California Municipal Fund California Series (hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of and for the year ended August 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered its internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, 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. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such internal control includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of August 31, 2006. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
