Our previous result on the correction of the Bethe stopping power theory for heavy target elements is amended, with the application of a more consistent version of the semirelativistic Bethe sum rule worked out recently [Phys. Rev. A 57, 4994 (1998)]. This correction is found to be significant for high-Z target atoms and relatively high-energy incident particles.
