Indirect Limits on New Physics from Precision Measurements of                  
Standard Model processes at LEP2                                               
  
Results from precision measurements of Standard Model processes at LEP2        
are used to set limits on new physics as described by four-fermion             
contact interactions or by the exchange of a new heavy particle such as        
a sneutrino in supersymmetric theories with R-parity violation.                
In the context of models with a heavy Z' boson, limits are placed on the       
mass of the Z' and the mixing angle between the Z' and the Z.                  
A search for the indirect effects of the gravitational interaction in extra    
dimensions on the lepton pair, Z pair and W pair final states                  
is also presented.
