    Map projections are usually interpreted by mapping a sphere onto an auxiliary surface, and then the surface is developed into a plane. It is taken as a fact without proof that the parallels in which the auxiliary surface intersects the sphere are mapped without distortions. In a previous paper, based on a theoretical consideration and illustrated with several examples, the author concluded that explaining cylindrical projections as mapping onto a cylindrical surface is not a good approach, because it leads to misunderstanding important properties of projection. In this paper I prove that there are no equal-area, equidistant, or conformal cylindrical projections for which the standard parallel will coincide with secant parallel after folding the map into a cylinder.
