Hilfer [Physica A 329 (2003) 35] claims to give an example of a continuous time random walk (CTRW) model with long-tailed waiting time probability density that approaches a Gaussian behavior in the continuum limit. Rigorous limit theorems, derived previously, show however that in the limit of long-time such a CTRW converges to a non-Gaussian behavior. We discuss two types of continuum limits for the CTRW model: the fractional continuum limit and the one introduced by Hilfer. We show that the fractional limit yields the correct long-time behavior of the CTRW, while Hilfer's continuum limit does not. We discuss a general approach to find a continuum limit of the CTRW process.
