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 pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.  
 However, there is a system of numbering the manifests that is part of the filing system
 for Chinese persons at the National Archives.  These numbers are included in the 
 identification of the film and reel numbers below.

The first two paragraphs above are printed as part of the form for this list.  The next 
 paragraph and its heading is a piece of paper attached to the page.  The following paragraph 
 is a separate stamp placed on the body of the page and then completed.

The cover sheet for this list has two hand written notes.

The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not included in 
 the table:
 Complexion=Brown
 Color of Eyes=Brown 
 If accredited officers of Chinese Government, state facts=no entries

According to the National Archives branch in San Bruno, California it is possible that they have
 some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived in San Francisco after 1886.
