Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
  or calls attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.

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.

The first two paragraphs above are printed as part of the form for this list.  The third
 paragraph is a note apparently attached to the page.  The next paragraph is a stamp added 
 to the page and then completed.  

The cover sheet for this list has a stamp and a handwritten note.

the table:
