Isaac Koi - New Uploads

Matt Bille has kindly given me permission to make scans of his "Exotic Zoology" newsletter (the first few issues of which were published under the title "Cryptozoology Newsletter") freely available online

Most issues have helpfully been scanned by the AFU in Sweden.

I'll try to fill in the remaining gaps shortly.

I've uploaded the available issues to separate folders for the titles "Exotic Zoology" and "Cryptozoology Newsletter" in the United States folder of the AFU's online archive of UFO/Fortean material:
