J. L. Doob, D. Blackwell, W. Feller and other authors have obtained several results concerning the renewal theorem. Especially Doob [1] has considered the renewal process and has showed that it becomes a stationary Markov process if we add a certain initial random variable to it. In the present note, we shall study this stationary Markov process and try to determine its transition probability by virtue of a pair of partial differential equations.

The author would like to express his hearty thanks to prof. A. Amakusa who has encouraged him with kind discussions throughout the course of preparing the present note.
