In [1] J. Ax studied a class of fields with similar properties as finite fields called pseudo-finite fields. One can prove that pseudo-finite fields are precisely the infinite models of the first-order theory of finite fields. Similarly a near-field F is called pseudo-finite if F is an infinite model of the first-order theory of finite near-fields. The structure theory of these near-fields has been initiated by U. Feigner in [5].
