Transcriber's Notes:

* The column, "The country of which they are citizens" was not filled in, so this was 
  eliminated   from this transcription. Also, column, "Date and Cause of Death" was modified 
  to indicate whether or not the passenger was in the country before, so it is assumed there 
  were no deaths on this passage. The original lister numbered the passengers.  

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 
further explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what the letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original 
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

1  The space occupied appears to be where the crew slept, the "L", perhaps meaning lower.
