page 98 note 1 Gmelin says that Hājjī [Rafī' Āqā of] Shaft slew Ḥajjī Jamāl in 1167 (1753–4) in Shaft, and afterwards, together with Mīrzā Zakī of Gaskar, ruled over Gīlān. Four months later Muḥammad Ḥasan Khān Qājār suddenly arrived in Gīlān, put them both to death, and entrusted Gīlān to Hājjī Taqī Nā'ib, of Kasmā, whom he appointed guardian and deputy of Hidāyat Khān, the son of Ḥājjī Jamāl, then too young to rule.

page 98 note 2 Hidāyat Khān was shot when trying to escape by boat from Anzali to Lankurān.

page 99 note 1 Another version is that he was shot near the Dūpurdān bridge at Lālam in Gaskar by a notable of that district with whose wife he had had an intrigue. Colonel Trézel mentions that the inhabitants of Gaskar refused to submit to a governor who was not of their tribe. A governor was appointed by Fatḥ 'Alī Shāh, but was shot on the Gaskar border when trying forcibly to enter that district. The date of this incident is the same as that of the death of Ḥusayn 'Alī, who very probably was the governor in question.

page 99 note 3 His father, Āqā Moḥsin Fūmanī, was governor of Fūman in 1212 (1797–8). Some authors describe Āqā Muḥsin as the son of a Khalkhālī named Kas Ākhūnd, others as a descendant of Amīra Dubbāj.

page 100 note 1 Qāsim Khān married a daughter of Fatḥ 'Alī Khān and a daughter of Ḥusayn 'Alī Khān, so that his sons were descendants of Hidāyat Khān.
