Transcriber's Notes:

*1 This column reads, "Total number of superficial feet in the several compartments set apart for passengers, other than Cabin Passengers." Under that heading was written a dash.
*2 This column reads, "Total number of Adult Passengers, exclusive of Master, Crew and Cabin Passengers which the vessel can legally carry." Under that heading was written a dash.
* This notation was handwritten.
* The "Columns represent..." statement was not in the original document.
* The original document has columns for "Number of Railway Order", "Amount of Cash - To be filled in by Immigration Agent at Port of Landing.", "Age of Children under 14 years of age", "Births at Sea" and "Deaths at Sea", all of which were left blank so I have omitted them.
* The passenger's age is recorded under the "Male" column.

A landing document attached to this manifest records that this ship was of the Manchester Line. There were no Second Cabin or Steerage passengers. The ship was given a "clean" bill of health upon inspection.
