Transcriber's notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original 
   recorder, not the transcriber, or is used to call your attention
   to additional information in the transcriber's notes. 
 
?  The use of a ? indicates a word, letters, or number(s) that 
   could not be read, due to quality of original document

*  Nothing was filled in for the following columns: 
   The Country of which they are citizens, 
   No of pieces of Baggage, 
   The Location of compartment or space occupied (all were 
   Steerge aft), 
   Date and cause of Death (none died on the voyage), 
   Whether Visitors only.

*  Passenger numbers:
   On the original list the numbering begins with 530, 
   many numbers are skipped and often two together are 
   not in any sequence, ie. 1219 next is 2322. Other 
   numbers are not readable because the edge of the page 
   is totally black. The transcriber wrote numbers as they 
   appeared. In addition, the formatter has numbered the 
   list consecutively to aid in referring to the 
   transcriber's notes below.

*  The total number of passengers on this ship was 156.

*  Numerous ages are written as the small letter a
   (See the age column of passenger number 1, above.)
   Some ages were not recorded at all.
  
Passenger #  9 - First letter could be J followed by three small
                 letters of un, or ss then el.
Passenger # 82 - The last name could be any possible combination
                 of small letters possibly  ending in faio or paio
Passenger # 83 - Rivers could be any possible combination of small
                 letters.
Passenger # 84 - Occupation begins with S, then could be e or i, 
                 then possibly an l followed by perhaps eseman.
Passenger #119 - Le?????sky could be any combinatin of letters 
                 looking somewhat like Lellechuisky
Passenger #145 - Isreal ?eirman, First letter is unreadable. 
                 Perhaps an E or an R
