Measurements are presented of R b, the ratio of the bb cross-section to the qq cross-section in e+e− collisions, and the forward-backward asymmetry A FBb at twelve energy points in the range s=130 –207 GeV. These results are found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectations. The measurements are used to set limits on new physics scenarios involving contact interactions. Deceased.
