The next two paragraphs are on a small separate piece of paper apparently taped to the large sheet. The last paragraph is a stamp 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 following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not included in the table: No of Certificate=no entries Complexion=Yellow Color of Eyes=Dark If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts=no entries
