Transcriber's Notes:

 A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
 definitely.

 An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
 the manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should
 refer.

 The ship name was written with an acute accent above the first "e":  Péreire.

 The transcriber numbered the passengers consecutively 1-65, even though they
 are not numbered in the original manifest.

 The recorder of the manifest listed the Occupation of most of the passenger as 
 "Merchant", even wives and children obviously not employed as merchants.

* Although not explicitly mentioned in the Captain's sworn statement, 
there is a possibility that this ship also made a call and boarded 
passengers at Brest, France, on it's voyage from Le Havre to New York.

 1  Given name appears to be either "Otto" or "Otho".

19  It is possible that name is actually "Albert Ledne" rather than "Ledne
    Albert".

32  Although written as "Irlande", country to which this passenger belongs is
    likely "Ireland".
