SUMMARY:
Notes two records from Chame at 10,300 ft on 28 Sept: a female Turnix maculatus tanki flushed from dry tufts in the pebbly bed of the Cha Chu, and a male Hirundo rustica gutturalis. The quail's altitude is considered extraordinary, and the swallow is thought to be a migrant rather than breeding in Tibet.

L. Ibis 388 Turnix maculatus tanki. ♀ Chame 10,300 ft. 28 Sept.
This seems an extraordinary altitude at which to obtain this Bustard Quail.
Chame is in the dry zone, north of the main range. It was flushed amidst
tufts of dry trifid in the pebbly bed of the Cha Chu. We saw no others.
Ibis 361 Hirundo rustica gutturalis. ♂ Chame 10,300. 28 Sept.
I do not think this swallow breeds anywhere in Tibet. It was no doubt
passing from the north.
