Transcriber's Notes: * An asterisk (*) after the passenger number indicates that additional information is available below in these TRANSCRIBER NOTES. The original recorder typed the List, but made some mistakes. The original is copied here, including his mistakes. The words and abbreviations used were those of the original recorder. The original recorder split the one word brown between the two section of the same columns for color of hair and color of eyes. In most cases the coloumn for months has been left blank by the original recorder. Some passengers seem to be rather tall, i.e. 7' or some children 6'. This is probably a typing mistake by the original recorder. Some were corrected by the custom's officer, some were not. In cases of the corrected entry, this entry was transcribed. Reviewer's Notes: Passengers were numbered from 1 - 30 on each page, passengers have been numbered continuously for ease of transcribing and referencing. HEAD TAX STATUS was blank for all passengers, therefore the coloumn was eliminated. All passengers have numbers such as 4/1628 or 4/2626 written in the "able to read which language" coloumn. These numbers indicate that a reading test was done. The first number, 4 in this case, is a language code, the next set of numbers is the number for a specific sentence. Names were transcribed as written regardless of spelling.
