In our original paper, the parameters for the best-fit model SEDs in Table 3 and the derived mass ratio of the total of submicronsized grains listed in Table 4 were incorrectly quoted. For comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp), for the four epochs UT 1996 September/ October (rh 1⁄4 2:8 AU), 1997 February (rh 1⁄4 1:21 AU), 1997 April (rh 1⁄4 0:93 AU), and 1997 June (rh 1⁄4 1:7 AU), the SED model fits shown respectively in Figures 6–9 utilize Np(crystalline olivine) larger than that quoted in Table 3 of the original paper. We have corrected this error in the revised Table 3 given here. This error was propagated into Table 4, which also used incorrect uniform bulk densities for all minerals in deriving the ratios of submicron grain abundances. A corrected Table 4 is given below, using the corrected bulk density of C 1⁄4 2:5 g cm 3 for carbon grains and of Si 1⁄4 3:3 g cm 3 for silicate grains, and taking into account that the submicron amorphous carbon and amorphous silicate grains are porous (model parameter D < 3). For the total population of submicron grains, the derived silicate-to-amorphous carbon ratio is in the range of 8.1–13.3, significantly higher than the range of 3.8–4.5 quoted in our original paper. Furthermore, for comet Hale-Bopp the silicate crystalline-to-amorphous ratio spans the range 1.5–3.7, 3 to 4 times greater than the range of crystalline silicate/amorphous silicate = 0.5–0.9 originally quoted by us.
