It is now taught that these ancient winged-reptiles were featherless, and more closely resembled the Bat family than birds. The line of ascent from Reptile to Bird was along the forms of the Reptiles that walked on land. And, of course, many modifications have occurred since the "branching-out."

No household is to represent merely itself; one or two, or more, from one family are to bring always one or two, or more, from somewhere else.
