Abstract: Let $\wt S$ be a Riemann surface of analytically finite type $(p,n)$ with $3p-3+n>0$. Let $a\in\wt S$ and $S=\wt S-\{a\}$. In this article, the author studies those pseudo-Anosov maps on $S$ that are isotopic to the identity on $\wt S$ and can be represented by products of Dehn twists. It is also proved that for any pseudo-Anosov map $f$ of $S$ isotopic to the identity on $\wt S$, there are infinitely many pseudo-Anosov maps F on $S-\{b\}=\wt S -\{a, b\}$, where $b$ is a point on $S$, such that $F$ is isotopic to $f$ on $S$ as $b$ is filled in.
