Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
  or calls attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.

The first two paragraphs above are printed as part of the form for this list.  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.  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.

The cover sheet for this list has a stamp and a handwritten note.

 I certify that I have this day landed the within named Chinese passenger 
  (signature) WW Presbury, Chinese Inspector June 15, 1894

the table:

 If accredited officers of Chinese Government, state facts=no entries
