Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber, 
  or is used to call attention to additional inforamtion in the transcriber 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.

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) 1894 by  Insp's (blank 
 for a name, in this case Grant). Many of these passengers have a place name written under 
 the stamp. Where there is a question mark the entry is illegible.
 
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.  The National Archives should have
  a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
 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)

The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
 Height
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes 
 If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts

Number of Certificate is crossed out and replaced with No of Ticket.

Sex was added by the completer.

Occupation of US bound passengers 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 States from curiosity."

2,3    There is a note at the end of the line and it is not possible to determine which of
       these passengers it refers to.  "Attaches Sec. 13."
10     There is another name in parentheses "Lem or Lun Get."
29-35  There is a note "To Destination by Rail.  Departed by rail for Havana via New Orleans."
33, 35, 42 These three passengers have a name that begins with "H." Elsewhere on the list the
       H is separated from the remaining letters, displaying a large loop on the right side
       of the letter.  In these three names the letters are crowded together so it is 
       difficult to differentiate this loop from what might be another letter.  That would 
       make passenger 33's middle name Hein, 35's second name Heew and 42's second name
       Heou.
