    From the authors' abstract: ``We observe that the maximum value achieved by the systole function over all complete finite area hyperbolic surfaces of a given signature \((g,n)\) is greater than a function that grows logarithmically in terms of the ratio \(g/n\).'' Here of course \(g\) is the genus and \(n\) is the number of cusps. Also, \(2g-2+ n>0\). The paper's main theorem is the following: For any \(g\geq 2\) and \(n\geq 1\), \[ \text{sys}(g,n)> U\log({9\over n+1}), \] where \(U\) denotes the constant of Buser and Sarnak [Invent. Math. 117, No. 1, 27--56 (1994; Zbl 0814.14033)]. Also of interest is the following proposition: For all \((g,n)\) such that \(2g-2+n> 0\) and \(n\leq 2\), \(\text{sys}(g,n)< \text{sys}(g,n+1)\).
