Abstract: It is well known that certain isotopy classes of pseudo-Anosov maps on a Riemann surface $\wt{S}$ of non-excluded type can be defined through Dehn twists $t\wt{\alpha}$ and $t\wt{\beta}$ along simple closed geodesics $\wt{\alpha}$ and $\wt{\beta}$ on $\wt{S}$, respectively. Let $G$ be the corresponding Fuchsian group acting on the hyperbolic plane ${\Bbb{H}}$ so that ${\Bbb{H}}/G\cong \wt{S}$. For any point $a\in \wt{S}$, define $S=\wt{S}\backslash \{a\}$. In this article, the author gives explicit parabolic elements of $G$ from which he constructs pseudo-Anosov classes on $S$ that can be projected to a given pseudo-Anosov class on $\wt{S}$ obtained from Thurston's construction.
