This attachment was probably used because the new 1907 manifest form, authorized only a month earlier, was not yet available. The instructions state: "This slip must be attached to the right side of each manifest of alien passengers ..." The columns are unnumbered. It requires the master of the vessel to provide the following information:
  • HEIGHT -- feet and inches.
