In the paper "Detection of Absorption-Line Features in the X-Ray Spectra of the Galactic Superluminal Source GRO J165540" by Y. Ueda, H. Inoue, Y. Tanaka, K. Ebisawa, F. Nagase, T. Kotani, and N. Gehrels (ApJ, 492, 782 [1998]), there is an error in the curve of growth for the K absorption line (Fig. 4). The revised version of Figure 4 given here replaces Figure 4 in the paper. Several numbers derived from the figure should be corrected accordingly, but the conclusion of the paper is not affected. In the third paragraph of the discussion section (page 786), the iron column density of the plasma should be 10^19 -- 10^20 cm-2, which corresponds to a hydrogen column density of 3 x 10^23 -- 3 x 10^24 cm-2. The final limit on the hydrogen column density of the line-absorbing plasma should be changed to 3 x 10^23 cm-2 < NH < 10^24 cm-2.
