"The Hobo-Dyer Equal Area projection map belongs to the family of Cylindrical Equal Area projections in which the latitude and longitude lines form a rectangular grid... In the present case the "cylinder" is assumed to wrap round the globe and cut through it at 37 1/2° norht and south. In order to preserve the equal area property the shapes of the landmasses become progressively flattened towards the poles, but shapes between 45° north and south are well preserved."
