§ 664. Here again we have six valid moods, which yield four direct
conclusions corresponding to Cesare, CARNESTRES, FESTINO and
BAROKO. The same four are repeated in the indirect moods.

Datisi, Felapton, Bokardo and Ferison, which are simply repeated by

conclusion not provided for in the mnemonic lines. Darapti, though
going under one name, has as much right to be considered two moods as
Disamis and Datisi.

show that it might by a little manipulation be brought into conformity
with it. This process is called Reduction.
§ 668. Reduction is of two kinds--

(2) Indirect or Ad Impossibile.
