A study of plasma anisotropies in Saturn's magnetosphere was conducted using data from the Voyager 1 plasma science (PLS) instrument together with an improved Voyager plasma data analysis routine of Sands (1987) and Sands and McNutt (1988). First, the degree of anisotropy required to reconcile differences in the inbound and outbound Voyager 1 plasma observations was determined. The anisotropies derived from the PLS plasma data were then compared with those required to reconcile inbound-outbound differences in plasma flux shell content. It was found that better fits to the data could be obtained if temperature anisotropies were allowed and that the magnitude of the anisotropies was roughly consistent with those required to provide azimuthal symmetry in the plasma flux tube content.
