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.

For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp 
 that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger. 
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
 Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1894 by  Insp's (blank 
 for a name, in this case Lynch). 
 
There were no entries in the No of Certificate.
 
There appeare to be entries in the following columns but the stamp obscures the information:
 Height
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes

There is some legible information on Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of 
 Identification.  It is recorded below.

1 "---- temple."
2 "---- on forehead over left eye."
