We report an erratum in ATel 15048, in which we incorrectly reported a preliminary detection of pulsations at 423 Hz from the source MAXI J1749-204. The preliminary detection was in fact at 443 Hz, which is consistent with the previously measured pulse frequency of SAX J1748.9-2021. The error was purely typographical on the part of the corresponding author -- indeed we did not even search for pulsations at 423 Hz. As indicated in ATel 15048, we only performed a Z^2_1 search for the frequency ranges 435-455 Hz and 195-215 Hz. We apologize for the error, and in particular for the adverse impact it may have had on the work detailed by Hughes et al. (ATel 15083).
