Endnotes

[312] The titles Engels gave to the four folders and the tables of contents of the second and third folders of material for Dialectics of Nature were not written before 1886, for the list of contents of the second folder includes the fragment "Omitted from Feuerbach", which was written in early 1886.

a This heading is crossed out in the manuscript, for Engels decided to transfer it to the third folder.— Ed.
