Using the figures provided, 145 into Port Adelaide, with 68 for Melbourne, should equal 77 for Adelaide ; the original Hamburg passenger list lists 14 cabin and 131 steerage, for a total of 145 passengers embarked.

An index from the State Library South Australia (SLSA) shows that 145 German migrants should have been on the Helene, I have been able to find 145 as listed below. — Regards Robert.

note.— There are very few surviving original lists of German passengers, so the data below has been compiled from a variety of sources, such as contemporary newspaper(s), internet sources, input from descendants and the South Australian Heraldry Genealogy society, (SAGHS).
I know the list is incomplete and may contain errors, so any feedback with additions or corrections, will be most appreciated. Please contact me using the link above. Regards Robert, Adelaide
