166 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



. A small quantity of oil is tried out by the fishermen on Cape Cod, 

 chiefly, perhaps, from the refase remaining after the fish have been 

 " slivered'' for bait. 



Near Wood's Holl, Mass., is the factory of the Pacific Guano Com- 

 pany, which at the time of its establishment in 18G3 was engaged largely 

 in the fisheries and oil pressing, but has now discontinued this branch 

 of the business. At Dartmouth is the factory of Eeskine Pierce, and 

 at Fall Eiver that of Job T. Wilson, which is referred to below in the 

 Narragansett Bay list.
