In this paper two major questions concerning generalised quaternion groups and distributively generated (d.g.) near-rings are investigated. The d.g. near-rings generated, respectively, by the inner automorphisms, automorphisms, and endomorphisms of the group are described. It is also shown that these morphism near-rings are local near-rings and contain no non-trivial idempotents. Finally, it is demonstrated that exactly 16 d.g. near-rings can be defined on a given generalised quaternion group.
