Transcriber's Notes:

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.

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:
 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).

The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
 No of Certificate
 Height
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes
 Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
 
The Destination column was added to the page by the completer.

Occupation is universally recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese 
 Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already 
 in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United State from 
 curiosity."
