Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber, 
  or is used to call attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.

Question marks replace illegible information or letters.

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 a part of the National
 Archives file system on Chinese persons.  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) 1892 by  Insp's (blank 
 for a name, in this case Grant). 
 
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
 Landing Refused Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number.  These passengers were 
  probably allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country.  The National Archives 
  should have a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
 Landing Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).

For passengers bound for a further port there are two possible dispositions:
  Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
  Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)

The No of Certificate column has been changed to No of Ticket.

Occupation is Grocer for all passengers except as noted below.

The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
 Last Place of Residence
 Height
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes
 Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification

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.

14-18 are decsribed as Fem.
14    Second name is Ngan or Ngau.  Occupation is "with her husband #26."
15    Could have "wife of Merchant" entered in the last column.  This was
       often done with ditto marks and there is some sort of mark there, not
       a clear ditto mark.
23    Occupation is "with his cousin #2."
29    Second name is Yam or Gam.
52    Occupation is "with his brother #40."
