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 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. 

This list appears on two separate pages that are on the same page of the film.  

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=Dark
 Color of Eyes=Dark 
 If accredited officers of Chinese Government, state facts=no entries

2  Last Place of Residence is difficult to read.  It could be Ullica, Ultica, Ittica or 
   Iltica Cal.  None of these places seems to exist in California or in Colorado.
