Let be a category with finite products and a final object and let X be any group object in . The set of -morphisms, (X, X) is, in a natural way, a near-ring which we call the endomorphism near-ring of X in Such nearrings have previously been studied in the case where is the category of pointed sets and mappings, (6). Generally speaking, if Γ is an additive group and S is a semigroup of endomorphisms of Γ then a near-ring can be generated naturally by taking all zero preserving mappings of Γ into itself which commute with S (see 1). This type of near-ring is again an endomorphism near-ring, only the category is the category of S-acts and S-morphisms (see (4) for definition of S-act, etc.).
