This text covers the research into this field which was reported in the period: 1995-1999. The coverage is limited to purely theoretical work; more practical aspects having certainly been covered by the relevant DDF volume during that period. As indicated above, the widest possible range of dislocation phenomena has been included; with the exception of liquid crystals defects. But the coverage also includes that close relative of the dislocation; the disclination.
