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 
 paragraph is a stamp placed on the body of the page and then completed.

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 cover sheet for this list has two hand written notes.
