The purpose of this paper is to discuss some ergodic properties of the stepping stone model proposed by Kimura, M. [4] and developed by Weiss, G.H. and Kimura, M. [12]. Our model to be discussed in this paper involves selection in addition to mutation and migration which are dealt with in [4], [12]. Because of the additional factor selection, the stochastic process describing our model becomes complicated and presents particularly interesting profound structure of the random phenomena in question.
