Let R be an arbitrary near-ring and define the multiplicative centre Z(R) by

In previous papers (2,3,5) we have established additive or multiplicative commutativity for various near-rings R in which selected elements were restricted to lie in Z(R); the near-rings involved were usually distributively-generated (d-g) and were frequently assumed to have a multiplicative identity element as well.
