Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber, 
  or is used to call attention to additional inforamtion in the transcriber notes.

Question marks replace illegible information or letters.

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.  In this portion of
 the film the numbers are not in exact order.  These numbers are included in the 
 identification of the film and reel numbers below.

For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp 
 that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger. 
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
 Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1894 by  Insp's (blank 
 for a name, in this case Grant). 
 
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
 Landing Refused Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number.  These passengers were probably 
  allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country.  The National Archives should have
  a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
 Landing Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).

For passengers bound for a further destination there are two possible dispositions:
  Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
  Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)

The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
 Height
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes
 Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification

No of Certificate is crossed out and replaced by No of Str Ticket.  Sex was added by the original 
 completer.  Last Place of Residence is crossed out and replaced by Destination.  Occupation is 
 Grocer for all male passengers except Passenger 5, who is a Tailor. 

1  has another name in parentheses after that recorded here "Chow ??? Dick." 
2  second name could be Kam.  He has another name in parentheses after that recorded here 
   "Mor Kim." 
3  has another name in parentheses after that recorded here "Yan Hong Wah." 
5  has another name in parentheses after that recorded here "Lee Nam." Occupation is Tailor.
15,20  Also departed per steamer Acapulco Panama Sep 8 1894.
17 has "Rose Bowl" written over the "I.T." Transit stamp.  It appears that he proceeded by 
   railroad, the entry is very difficult to read but seems to say SPRR, probably Southern 
   Pacific RR.
