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 
 two paragraphs are two separate stamps placed on the body of the page and then completed.
 The lower half of the first stamp is missing.

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 following column had no entries for all passengers and so was not included in the table:
 If accredited officers of Chinese Government, state facts
