Transcriber's notes:

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

?  The use of a ?  indicates a word or letters that could not
   be read, due to quality of the original document.  

*  This transcript came with a cover sheet attached which
   does not appear to belong to it.  The cover sheet mentions
   a ship called "Montauk", which sailed on the same date as
   the Adirondack from the same port, Limon. The printed
   number "1207" also appears (the NARA volume number).

*  No notation was made on this transcript describing the
   location which passengers occupied during the trip;
   likewise no deaths were recorded, nor was any
   information presented regarding the passengers' plans for
   a protracted sojourn in the USA. Therefore I have
   eliminated those columns.

*  Br. stands for Brig, a type of ship.

*  The ports of origin are located in South America. Port Limon
   is thought to be Puerto Limon in Costa Rica although there
   is a Port Limon in Honduras. 

*  The master's signature is illegible.

*  Thos. is short for Thomas.

*  Dep. Coll. is short for Deputy Collector.

*  Pt Lim is short for Port Limon (Honduras).

Passenger # 1 - In John B. Dougherty's occupation, C. Engineer
                stands for Civil Engineer.
Passenger # 3 - In C.H.Gibson's occupation, Eng'r stands for
                Engineer.
Passenger #49 - This passenger has only a first name given; no
                lettering or ditto marks or any other mark(s)
                at all appear where his last name should be.
