By taking into account of the Kondo effect, the spatial variation of the order parameter in superconductors containing a single magnetic impurity is discussed. We use the method of the double-time Green function used by Zuckermann, and Takano and Matayoshi, and follow the methods of Zittartz, Muller-Hartmann and Kondo to solve the equation for the t-matrix. The spatial variation of the order parameter is obtained by a method similar to that of Heinrichs. Only the case, in which the temperature is very close to Tc and !ln Tx/TI = 1-rl (Tx: Kondo temperature) is very large, is considered. The spatial variation of the order parameter is considered up to the terms of the order of (1/r)3• The main effect is to replace r 2 by 1/-r2 is expression of the spatial variation of the order parameter and of the transition point. The term lh·3 yields the asymmetry for 't">O and 't"
