K. D. Magill has investigated the semigroup generated by the idempotent continuous mappings of a topological space into itself and examined whether this semigroup determines the space to within homeomorphism. By analogy with this (and related work of Bridget Bos Baird) we now consider the semigroup generated by nilpotent continuous partial mappings of a space into itself.
