The author concerns the conservation laws in the continuum theory of defects in an elastic solid, combining Noether's theory with the non- Riemannian geometrical theory of defects. After a brief review on some basic formulations for the motion and deformation of solids including dislocations, the dislocation-density tensors are defined in the Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions in terms of vielbein theory. The equation of variational invariance is derived from the condition that the action integral remains invariant under small transformations of dependent and independent variables. This is a mathematical version of Noether's theorem. For a dislocated continuum, the two sets of equations of variational invariance, which are dual in form, are given by means of the Lagrangian and Eulerian representations. Corresponding to the six infinitesimal transformations; i.e., translations of time, material and spatial coordinates, and the rotations of material, space and local anholonomic frames, there are six conservation laws. Finally, the author discusses the duality principle between the two sets of conservation equations.
