[For parts I--III, see Zbl 0748.53052, Zbl 0748.53053, Zbl 0748.53054, parts V, VI and VII, see below.] The author investigates the curvature and torsion of a higher order Kawaguchi metric and their representations in an anholonomic frame. This construction is applied in cristallography. Thus, by introducing the notions of disturbance, Burgers vector field and Burgers circuit he succeeds to realize an interesting picture of the theory of dislocations. The content of the chapter is as follows: Higher order geometrical approach; Higher order curvature-torsion; Restriction of the carrier's dimensions; Pseudo-parallelism by linear affine connection; Anholonomic tearing of metric and torsion; Dislocation by anholonomic tearing of the torsion tensor field; Disclination by an anholonomic tearing of the metric; Perfect and imperfect tearing; Edge dislocation pairs in lattice; C.M.D.S. compromises; Cottrell atmosphere.
