For at tydeliggjøre sin Opfattelse ledsager Dobson sin Fremstilling med et «Diagram illustrating 
the affinities of the families and genera of Chiroptera, and probable lines of descent from ancestral forms 
(Palæochuroptera)», der i det væsenlige ser saaledes ud:

Af Dobson's Forklaring hertil maa man især lægge Mærke til følgende: «...the affinity of the 
generic groups to each other, and to groups of other families, is indicated (as far as possible) by the relative 
position of the names of these groups in each circle (3: her Firkant). The generic names are introduced in 
order to indicate the position of the transitional forms...… og «The position of the Pteropidæ is not in-
