Abstract: Limits of a system of N Dn-branes in which the bulk and string degrees of freedom decouple to leave a `matter' theory are investigated and, for n>4, either give a free theory or require taking $Noinfty$. The decoupled matter theory is described at low energies by the $Noinfty$ limit of n+1 dimensional sym, and at high energies by a free type II string theory in a curved space-time. Metastable bound states of D6-branes with mass $M$ and D0-branes with mass $m$ are shown to have an energy proportional to $M^{1/3}{m}^{2/3}$ and decouple, whereas in matrix theory they only decouple in the large N limit.
