 Illegible:  Signature of Collector of the Customs of the Collection 
             District of New York.

 under the months column;  therefore the months column has been eliminated.
 There were no births or deaths on this passage, therefore the birth/death 
 column has been eliminated.

 Passenger numbers have been added for ease in referencing.
