Transcriber's Notes:

*  Asterisks indicate transcriber's notes.

?  Question marks indicate illegible letters

*  The occupation of all passengers was listed as Farmer, their origin and
   destination as Germany and United States, so these columns have been
   eliminated.

*  Passenger numbers were added by the transcriber for reference.

*  The Quarterly Abstracts are error prone and do not include all details
   recorded on the original ship manifests, but the individual list for this
   voyage could not be found on NARA Film M259, Roll 21 and is apparently lost,
   not filmed, or filmed in the wrong time period.

*  On the actual abstract, "Barque Iris / Geo. N. Lamb / Brement" appears to
   left of passenger #1 and the first passenger on next two pages, Bremen with
   an added T each time.
