Transcriber's Notes:

There were no births or deaths on this passage.

The country of which it is intended by each passenger to become an inhabitant
is the United States, so this column was eliminated.

The use of a * indicates an omission, or an error made by the original 
recorder.

  1 Mrs. J. McGregor - Steerage was crossed out. The tally shows that she came
    in 2nd Cabin.
