The one-dimensional Kondo-necklace model is investigated on the basis
of bosonization. We prove that the model belongs to the same universal
ity class as the one-dimensional half-filling Kondo lattice model at o
perator level, furthermore, the excitation and the gap formation are d
erived. We suggest that the spin gap of this model always exists for a
