During the Voyager 1 encounter with Jupiter, a large number of whistler waves were observed. Previous studies have examined the dispersion of these waves and made estimates of the electron and light ion (i.e., proton) densities. The current paper reexamines this data, taking into account the revised temperatures of the torus species the additional data on ion composition from the Voyager UVS instrument and the role of thermal anisotropy on the plasma densities. These refinements in the density model drastically alter the implications of the whistler wave data. Both the thermal and the nonthermal species must be anisotropic to fit the whistler dispersions. The thermal component must have T⊥/T∥>1.75 and the nonthermal component 3
