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) 1896 by  Insp's (blank 
 for a name, in this case O'Leary). 
 
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 following columns had no entries:
 Height
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes
 Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification

Occupation is Grocer for all passengers except an noted below.

Salina Cruz is on the Pacific coast of Mexico.  San Benito is an island off the coast
 of Baja Cailfornia in Mexico.

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.

There are a number of passengers listed as Return Laborer with a "CH Permit."  When the 
 Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882  a number of Chinese who had spent time in the 
 US but had returned to China at the time of the Act were excluded from returning to the
 US until 1894 when the act was amended.  This "CH Permit" is probably the document that
 proved their status, allowing them to return.

11  Occupation is "with his uncle #15."
26  Second name is Qu, Qi or Qii.  
71  Occupation is "with his uncle #29." 
76  Occupation is "with his brother #33."
167 Occupation is "with his brother #128."
168 Occupation is "with his uncle #119."
181 Occupation is "with his father #102."
221 There is a note above the Landed stamp "ticket given as no 25."
