Notes:
See Notes and other information on ID #1406.01. This maps confounds customary cartographic expectations not only by using an equal-area projection, but by its orientation with South at the top. The immediate effect is to enhance the significance of the Southern Hemisphere, and particularly Australia because it is nearly at the center longitudinally.
