The relationship between Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling and rapidity distributions in nondiffractive hadron-hadron reactions at high bombarding energies is discussed. The following is shown: The striking properties of rapidity distributions, in particular the existence of a central plateau as well as its energy and multiplicity dependence, are natural consequences of the statistical model which has been proposed to describe the KNO scaling behaviors in such reactions. Pseudorapidity density distributions at the CERN ISR and pp-bar collider energies for total charge multiplicity and for different multiplicity intervals are calculated. The results are in good agreement with the data.
