There are extensive notes at the bottom of the page.  They are recorded below.

1 has been to New York June 1868.  She is going to join cousin Miss A Girard
  825 Turk St.
2 has been to S.F. Dec 1894.  This must be an error because the ship landed in
  June 1894.  note:" Mrs Adelina Martinez intends remaining 5 mos.  her husband
  is a Mayor D?no of a ---- (could be church) in Panama  intends stopping at
  156 3rd ST with the little boy; little boy was born here"
4 has been to the US May 1894.
5 First name looks like Tiburia on the list and Tiburini in the note.  She is
  going to join aunt Mrs. A. Portugal Powell St.  note:"Tibur?? Biscayñe from
  Colima comes to get sewing to do, has an Aunt  Adelaide Portugal-I last saw
  her in Colima  I don't know how long ago.  My sister the brother's wife has
  $10 belonging to me."
6 has been to San Luis Obispo last 1894.  She is going to join Brother Mr Correro
  San Luis Obispo.  note:"Miss Concepcion Morales coming to join her brother whose
  name is Clemento Core??? (could be a, u, or n) and sister Margaret Core? They
  live in Pismo in San Luis Obispo County  Their mother was my mother"
7 name is listed as Mr. but his sex is recorded as female by ditto marks.  He has
  been to San Jose Mch 1894.  He is going to join Wife Felicia Esparza P San
  Francisco.
8 is listed as able to read but not write.  She has been to S F Feb 1894.  She is
  going to join Mrs A. Portugal Powell St.  note: "Mrs W?nstepp & child are wife
  and child of butcher on board the Str San Jose" This might mean her husband was
  a member of the crew.  The surname looks like Wens?eff on the list and Waenstepp
  in the note.  The last letters in the note are larger and easier to see.  The pp
  letters have very high strokes before the rounded part but they look more like p.
