    [For part I cf., ibid. 43-52 (1993; Zbl 0781.53023).] From the author's abstract: ``We consider different types of quaternionic-like structures. The interrelations between automorphism groups of the subordinated structures and of some admissible connections are studied. A characterization of automorphisms of a quaternionic structure as some kind of projective transformations is given. General results on harmonicity of an automorphism of some \(G\)-structure are obtained and applied to the case of an almost Hermitian quaternionic structure. Different noteworthy transformations groups of quaternionic Kähler or hyperkähler manifolds and their interrelations are studied. In particular, new characterizations of quaternionic Kähler manifolds that admit a quaternionic automorphism \(\rho\) different from an isometry are given''.
