The scaling properties of multiplicity distributions for {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} and p{bar p} collisions are summarized. In this paper it is shown that in both cases the distributions have a lognormal shape. Possible relations between {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} and p{bar p} collision dynamics are discussed in a framework scaling properties of multiplicity distributions. The form of the energy dependence of mean multiplicity is obtained as a consequence of the multiplicity scaling.
