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 notes.

The day of the Collectors's statement is not completed but someone has penciled in "14th"
 in the margin above it.

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.  In this portion of 
 the film the numbers are not in exact order.  These numbers are included in the 
 identification of the film and reel numbers below.

The departure port is listed as simply Panama.  Research indicates this refers to 
 Panama City.

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) 1893 by  Insp's (blank 
 for a name). 
 
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
 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.
 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)
