    The author develops the study of generalized connections over a vector bundle map introduced in his joint paper with \textit{F. Cantrijn} [Differ. Geom. Appl. 18, No. 3, 295--317 (2003; Zbl 1036.53014)]. In particular cases this notion reduces to many well-known generalizations of connections such as pseudo-connections, partial connections and etc. as well as to the classical Ehresmann connection. In the present paper, the analogs of the main theorems on holonomy of standard connections are derived. It is proved that the holonomy group of the connection is a Lie subgroup of the structure group of the corresponding principal bundle. The author also proves the analogue of the reduction theorem.
