In this paper we refer to a 1.2 mm measurement of HD 100453 and quote a flux of 30 mJy. This flux is incorrect. The correct value obtained in the measurement is  $265 \pm 21$ mJy (S. Wolf and M. Albrecht, private communication). When considering this value, the long wavelength slope $\alpha$ of the SED is now -2.8 instead of -3.7. The new value is consistent with large grains. Therefore, the general lack of small silicate grains is the most likely explanation for the weakness of the 10 $\mu$m silicate feature in this source. We are grateful to M. Albrecht for reducing and discussing the SIMBA data.
