  transcriber, or calls attention to additional information in the transcriber
  notes.

The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be
 difficult. However, there is a system of numbering the manifests that is a
 part of the National Archives file system on Chinese persons.  These numbers
 are included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.

The following columns had no entries for all passengers:
 No of Certificate
 Complexion
 Color of Eyes
 Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
 If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts

According to the National Archives branch in San Bruno, California it is
 possible that they have some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived
 in San Francisco after 1886.

1-2  Are listed as In Transit to Champerico.
3-4  Are listed as In Transit to San Jose de Guatemala.
