Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber, 
  or is used to call attention to additional inforamtion in the transcriber notes.

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.  In this portion of
 the film the numbers are not in exact order.  These numbers are included in the 
 identification of the film and reel numbers below.

For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp 
 that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger. 
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
 Landed Collectors order (blank for date, left blank in this case) 1894 by  Insp's (blank 
 for a name, in this case Grant). 
 
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
 Refused Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number.  These passengers were probably 
  allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country.  The National Archives should have
  a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
 Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).

For passengers bound for a further port there are two possible dispositions:
  Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
  Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)

No. of Certificate has been crossed out and changed to Pass ticket.  Sex was added by the
 completer.

The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
 Height
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes
 Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification

Occupation is universally recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese 
 Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already 
 in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United States from 
 curiosity."
 
29-30 are bound for Panama by Str.
31-32 are bound for Havana by Str.
