The next three paragraphs are two separate stamps placed on the body of the page and then completed. 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. The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not included in the table: No of Certificate=no entries Complexion=Yellow Color of Eyes=Dark If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts=no entries
