Transcriber's Notes:

The arrival date on this list differs from that on the non-Chinese list.

The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.  
 However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests.  These numbers are
 included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.  There are four ships
 that seem to be out of order using this system.  This is one of them.

Passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp that varies depending on the disposition 
of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever information has been entered in the columns. 
Passengers allowed to land have one of the following stamps:
 Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by 
 Insp's (blank for a name, in this case Grant). 
 Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number.  These passengers are bound for a 
  further port.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
 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.
 Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).

The following columns had identical entries and are not included in the table:
 No of Certificate=no entries
 Occupation=Merchant 
 Last Place of Residence=no entries
 Height=no entries
 Complexion=no entries
 Color of Eyes=no entries

8,9 have Fem written beside their names.
