In this paper we study the problem of the representation of d.g. near-rings, and in particular the problem of a faithful representation, which is equivalent to the adjoining of an identity. This problem has been considered by Malone [5] and Malone and Heatherly [6] and [7]. They have shown that a finite near-ring with two sided zero can be embedded in the d.g. near-ring generated by the inner automorphisms of a suitable group, and that an identity can always be adjoined to a near-ring with two sided zero. They have also given some special conditions under which a faithful representation of a d.g. near-ring exists.
