The kinematic theory of Weingarten-Volterra line defects is revisited, both at small and fi nite deformations. Existing results are clari fied and corrected as needed, and new results are obtained. The primary focus is to understand the relationship between the disclination strength and Burgers vector of deformations containing a Weingarten-Volterra defect corresponding to di fferent cut-surfaces.
