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 except as noted below).

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 separated into two.  The left side is numbers that
 are probably ticket number.  The right side is dates, probably certificate issue date.

Occupation is Grocer for all passengers except as noted below.

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

Demerara is in Guyana. Salina Cruz is on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Pittsburg probably
 refers to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but could be Pittsburg, California.

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.
