Followed by this is "Name of passenger" , "DIMITRACAKIS Constantin" , "Name of ship" , "ARGENTINA." , "Name appears on Return, sheet 4 line 2". Beneath this, the card is divided into two sections. One on the left is labeled for a "Medical Examination Stamp". There is a "LANDED IMMIGRANT" stamp and a punch hole in the shape of the number four. The one on the right is a "Civil Examination Stamp". There is a "TF" stamp as well as an oval shaped stamp that reads "CANADIAN IMMIGRATION SEP 19 1951 HALIFAX.N.S". In the top right corner is an ID number "Imm. 183". At the bottom of the card, something has been written in blue ink but has been crossed out.
