Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was elminated from this transcription in the interests
of space.  However, 3 passengers died during the voyage:  #62, Sarah Ann Williams died
September 29; #224, Tim^y Hurley died September 15; and #307, Elizabeth Hopkins.

The "Location of compartment or space occupied" column was abbreviated by the
transcriber.  Most passengers, steerage ones certainly were listed as occupying Upper
Between Decks.  The first class passengers were either in Houses on Deck or State room on
Deck.

The original lister did not number the passengers; this was done by the transcriber.
The original lister provided a recapitulation at the end of the document; however, this
does not agree with the actual numbered list.  He indicated there were 402 passengers, but
the list only names 398.  There could be names missing at the fold of the document.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
explains the entry.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name. The original lister 
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

The lister also used the "leading s", which appears at first glance to be an "f" before 
the letter "s",  but actually signifies a double "s".  The transcriber has changed this 
where found. 

224  Died on September 15th.
251 and 252  Surname may also be McLarren; it appears to be written over.
294  The name appears to be a male given name, yet the passenger is listed as a female.
307  This child died on September 5th.
308  Actual age is one and one-half months.
323  Surname:  Oslerecz, Orlerecz.
348  Frenz, Freng or Freny.
