PARIS, June 1 (Reuters) - Sixty-one French citizens, 58 Brazilians and 26 Germans were among the 216 passengers on an Air France flight believed to have crashed in the Atlantic Ocean, the airline said on Monday.

The airline's head office in Paris gave out an official list of the passengers' nationalities but did not mention the crew. It said the list superceded a previous list given out by airline officials in Brazil.

Passengers from 32 nationalities were on board in all, including nine Chinese, nine Italians, six Swiss, five Britons and five Lebanese.
