This report shows the results in re-analysis of the data obtained from tracking telemetry of toad (Bufo bufo formosus BOULENGER) by the group of ecological study in the National Park for Nature Study. I deal here with two subjects, relationship between the hiding-place and the location, and relationship between the hiding-place and the distances (metre) from there at the behavior-time. The results show a probability for three matters on the daily behavior of toad. That is, the first is the presence of a kind of home range, which will be about five metre around the hiding-place. The second is the presence of behavior-bearings. This is suggested by higher frequency of appearance in a certain quadrant centred the hiding-place and by faithfullness to bearings-line in each individual. The third is the presence of circadian clock. This is suggested by that toads behaved commonly such as to return home range or to confirm the bearing at several times during the time of active movements.
