Transcriber's Notes:

The first two paragraphs above are printed as part of the form for this list.  The next 
 three paragraphs are two separate stamps placed on the body of the page and then completed.

The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.  
 However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests.  These numbers are
 included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.

The cover sheet for this list has a stamp.

the table:
 No of Certificate=no entries 
 Complexion=Yellow
 Color of Eyes=Dark 
 If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts=no entries
