Transcriber's Notes
No date or signature was entered in the Immigration Inspector's statement.

The numbers entered in the Remarks column are similar to numbers on other 
  manifests on this film with a hand-written heading of Money in the 
  Remarks column.

The first sheet of this manifest is headed Saloon Contd.  The sheet before 
  it on the film is clearly marked as from another ship.  If there was a 
  "Saloon" sheet to start this manifest there is no evidence of it.

There are a number of abbreviated names and words that have the final 
  letter or letters raised above the line, such as Wm, Chars, Australa 
  and Califa.  

Letters that are unclear are replaced with ?.

Passenger numbers were added to aid with referencing.

 Psgrs 81 (Gibson) and 43 (Parkinson) were added in a different hand at the bottom of the 
  pages.

The page of the list from 169 (?ry Petersen) to 211 (?os Lees) has something over the 
  right edge of the list so that the beginnings of the names are obscured.

The L in the Remarks column is the symbol for the pound sterling.  For 
  some passengers both symbols ($ and L) are entered.

 48 The missing letter in Re?ks is "e" or "c."
 62 The missing number in Remarks for passenger August Spent is a 1 or a 0.
 64 The missing letter in ?uck is "L" or "T."
216 Luttwitz has multiple lines drawn through his name.

 58 (Ryan), 93 (Giddings), 104 (Hargreaves), 184 (Wrigley) and 221 (Lowell) appear to
    have lines drawn through their names.  These lines could be due to folds in the paper.
