Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the 
  quality of the original document.
A * following the number of baggage indicates that the original recorder has 
  grouped the baggage of this person with that of the following persons, who 
  have no numbers in the baggage column.
Stge is presumed to indicate steerage; orlop is the bottom deck of a ship.
Prot? sojourn - presumably an abbreviation for protracted sojourn.  The 
  document is too dark to tell whether there is a letter or a space following 
  Prot.
Passenger #90 - line through passenger number, name, age, and gender - may be 
  artifact of copy.
Passenger #92 - two omitted letters appear to be nn.
Passenger #93 - umlaut over the u.
Passenger #97 - appears to be Jewusch, alternately Jernusch.
Passenger #101 - indicated as f, but could be m, as grouped with wife & infant.
Passenger #105 - omitted letter appears to be s, alternately o.
Passenger #107 - omitted letter appears to be a middle initial, capital A.  
  Omitted letters in surname appear to be en.  
There is a dot, as though over an i - possibly a stray mark.
Passenger #108 - C in surname is capitalized in original.
Passenger #110 - omitted letters appear to be us, alternately ns.
Passenger #115 - omitted letters appear to be in, alternately ur.

  letters (of five or six) appear to be del.

Passenger #121 - omitted letters appear to be G?, alternately Cz.
Passenger #124 - r is above line.
Passenger #137 - omitted letter a or o.
Passenger #138 - appears to be Hirsch, but bottom of letters obliterated by 
  damage to document.  Age obliterated.
Passenger #139 - name, age and gender obliterated by damage to document.  
  Baggage bracketed with passengers 136-138.
Passenger #140 - umlaut over the u.
Passenger #150 - name and age obliterated by damage to document. Given name 
  has two or three short letters followed by a letter extending above 
  midline (h or k?), then one or more short letters, followed by another 
  tall letter.  Any following letters are short.  Surname appears to begin 
  with H, possibly Hu, followed by short letters, ending with a letter above 
  midline and one below bottom line (ky?).
Passenger #151 - omitted letter n or u.
Passenger #155 - omitted letter(s) appears to be a, alternately ia.
Passenger #157 - gender given as f and occupation as Lab on manifest.
Passenger #162 - omitted letter e or i.
Passenger #164 - omitted letters appear to be Sa, but E of passenger 165 
  interferes - one of the two letters may descend below the line.
Passenger #169 - omitted letter appears to be a, alternately u.
Passenger #172 - omitted letter in given name appears to be j, alternately g.
Passengers #172-178 - omitted letter in surname is heavily marked, illegible.  
  It is a short letter, neither rising above the midline nor dropping below 
  bottom line.
Passenger #179 - first omitted letter appears to be l, alternately k or h.  
  Last two letters are partially obliterated by damage - the last drops below 
  the bottom line, next to last rises above midline.  Age obliterated.  
  Baggage bracked with passenger 180, number obliterated.
Passenger #180 - see surname notes for passenger 179.
Passenger #182 - omitted letter appears to be o, alternately a.
