Charged-particle multiplicity distributions in 300-GeV/c pd interactions have been determined from an exposure of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory 30-in. bubble chamber. The data show clear evidence for double scattering inside the deuterium nucleus. We have been able to correct for the effects of the second scatters by using a simple semiempirical model. The resulting pp multiplicity distribution is in excellent agreement with the pp data obtained from a p-H$sub 2$ experiment at the same energy. The pn multiplicity distribution appears to be shifted from the pp distribution with /sub p/ = 7.84 +- 0.17. (AIP)
