Notes
Detailed statements by Hajee Ahmed [Haji Ahmed], in Arabic and English, of trade carried out in the towns of Koweit [Kuwait], Busreh [Basra], Mahomereh [Khorramshahr], Felahieh, Bushire, Bahrein [Bahrain], Bunder-Abbass [Bandar Abbas] and Lingeh [Lengeh]; the goods exported and imported; and the duties levied on them according to information received by Hajee Ahmed from people acquainted with the business.
Each town is allocated its own page and gives details of the type of items being traded, their values and the various trade routes into and out of the town as well the customs duties levied on them.
A note at the end of the statement records that no trade is carried out at any other Persian seaports from Lingeh to Kangoon [Kangān] as they receive their trade from other large towns.
