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.

Aug 10 - Ludlow p. 82. L's 49th birthday -
celebrated by opening a tin of pate de foie gras.
Got a couple of Brown Accentors. Expected to
see lots of Parnassius but didn't.
"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."
