We shall present in this paper some ergodic properties of the stepping stone model. The model has been proposed by M. Kimura [2], to describe the evolution of a genetical population with mating and geographical structures. It has been investigated and developed by M. Kimura and G. H. Weiss [3], G. H. Weiss and M. Kimura [6], W. Fleming and C.-H. Su [1], S. Sawyer [5], and others.
