Transcriber's Notes:

   or is used to call your attention to additional information in the transcriber's 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) 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)

The Number of Certificate column is so named but probably represents ticket number.

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

There is a La Libertad on the coasts of Ecuador and El Salvador and in the interior of Nicaragua.
  Torreon is in the interior of 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.

An Affidavit Merchant is a document created by the passenger before departing the US.  It
 is an affidavit signed by a number of white men in the town where the passenger resided in the
 US to prove that he is/was a merchant.  A Sec 6 Certificate is a document to prove that the
 passenger is/was a merchant but created by the Chinese government in China.

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.  

There are a number of passengers with u or 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 looks like an umlaut.
 
Numerical notations for passengers most likely are entries relating to later travel. 
 They can be interpreted by contacting Bill Green, the Chinese specialist at NARA
 in San Bruno, California.


 22  First name could be Jein or Jem.
 42  Part of the bottom of the page apparently was torn off before it was filmed so some
      of the information for this passenger is missing.
 53  After the second name (or Sue) is written.
 81  were away 12017/2482 is written on the line.
120  12020/29245 is written on the line.
150  See 1300-37380 is written on the line.
153  13330/4-5 is written on the line.
177  Occupation is "with husband #5."
