Transcriber's Notes:

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

  Above the sworn statement is written "138 Aliens".
  Wherever there is a ? in the age, it is where a dark crease ran down the list and some or all
   of the age could not be read.
  "wf" is consistantly the abbreviation for wife.
  Wherever "family" is written for calling of several persons, it is written on the diagonal
   across these lines.
  Some of the intended destinations were written as "U.S.A." and some were spelled out as "United
   States of America".  I left them all as "U.S.A." to save space.
  Scotland was consistantly spelled with two t's.
  Above the location or compartment (Room) column was written "Main Steerage".  This seems to
   apply to passengers 1 through 115.
  Wherever there is a ? in the Room or Cabin number, it is where a dark crease ran down the list
   and it could not be read.
