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.

The Sworn statement is dated April 22 but April 21 is written above it and on the cover sheet.

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) 1898 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)

Occupation is Grocer for all passengers except as noted below.

The following columns had no entries:
 Color of Eyes
 Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification

Height is entered for passengers not bound for San Francisco, but is not legible for
 City of Mexico and Guaymas passengers.

Torreon is in Central Mexico.  Callao is the port for Lima, Peru.

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.  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.  A Section 6 Permit is a Merchant's Affidavit issued in China rather than
 that collected from white neighbors or associates in the U.S.

There are a number of passengers with U as a name.  It is difficult to tell whether it is
 upper case or lower case.  It usually has a diacritical mark above it that could be a caret,
 a tilde or even an acute accent.

It is difficult to decide whether the letter that follows a T is an e or an s, Teang or Tsang for example.
 These names are identified below.

5    There is a notation: 14298/4-22.
9    Occupation is "with cousin #9."

72   There is no information as to the dispostion of this passenger.
80   There is little difference between the lower case n and u in this hand writing.
      Passenger's name could be Chan Lan, or even Chau Lan or Lau.
