Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
  or calls attention to additional information in the transcriber's notes.

The column for Citizenship has no information, therefore this column is omitted.
The column for Location of Compartment has no information, therefore this column is omitted.
The column for Number of pieces of Baggage has no information, therefore this column is omitted.
The column for Intention of Protracted Sojourn in the US has no information, therefore this 
column is omitted.
No passengers died on this voyage, therefore this column is omitted.

The passengers are numbered on the Manifest. No passenger has the number 67 and two have the 
number 82. They are renumbered in sequence in this transcription.
         
The sum 209 for Passengers + Cattlemen + Crew is as written on the Manifest. Correct sum = 179
