SUMMARY:
Notes record a collection of yaks and several species observed: Parnassius butterflies, finches, a White-breasted Dipper, a Wallcreeper, and a Tibetan Partridge south of a pass. On Aug 10, Ludlow marked his 49th birthday by opening a tin of pate de foie gras after getting Brown Accentors, noted fewer Parnassius than expected, and remarked on difficulty sleeping at high altitude.

"I don't like these high altitudes. I find it
difficult to get a good night's rest. I
certainly feel these high altitudes more and more
each year."
