Transcriber's Notes

  or calls attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.

 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

The departure port is listed as simply "Panama."  Research indicates this refers to Panama City.
