Abstract
The two-dimensional analogue of the Sharkovski order on periods for ma ps of the interval restricts to a partial order on essential pseudo-An osov conjugacy classes in the mapping class group of the n-times punct ured disk. In this paper we give an explicit description of this restr icted partial order in the case when n = 3.
