Book of Mormon Alma 22:30
"which had been peopled and been destroyed, of whose bones we have spoken"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 8:8
"having discovered a land which was covered with bones of men"

The geography excursus binds the editor's own sources by explicit cross-reference ('of whose bones we have spoken' = the Limhi-expedition find, recalled also at Mosiah 21:26). 22:30 adds a datum absent from Mosiah: 'the place of their first landing' of the people of Zarahemla - reported, not reconciled. The bones' identity is deferred by the text and left deferred (no anticipation).
