Blackett and Wolfson studied the near-ring Aff (V) consisting of all affine transformations of a vector space V. This notion is generalized here, and the rear-ring Aff (G) consisting of affine-like maps of a nilpotent group G is introduced. The ideal structure, and the multiplication rule for Aff (G) are determined. Finally a near-ring S is introduced which generalized both Aff (G), and Gonshor's abstract affine near-rings. The ideals of S are determined.
