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 first two paragraphs above are printed as part of the form for this list.  The next three
 paragraphs are stamps added to the page and then completed.  The  first stamp is 
 crossed out in the part indicated by parentheses above, and replaced by:
 "for San Francisco Cal via Victoria B.C.  

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 part 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 cover sheet for this list has two stamps.
