Recently it was proved that the Majumdar-Ghosh chain with the Hamiltonian H= 4 Sigma j= 1 2N S j. S j+ 1+ 2 Sigma j= 1 2N S j. S j+ 2, S i+ 2N identical to S i, S i= 1/2, has at least two ground states, in which the spins are arranged in nearest-neighbour singlet pairs. In this work it is shown that these two states are the only ground states. Besides, a rapidly converging variational method is given to determine the elementary excitations.
