This paper presents an interesting observation, i.e., Koba-Neilsen-Olesen-type scaling in the multiplicity distribution of medium energy protons emitted as a result of /sup 12/C-AgBr (emulsion) and central /sup 24/Mg-AgBr (emulsion) interactions at 4.5A GeV/c and p-bar-AgBr (emulsion) reactions at 1.4 GeV/c. In all cases, the experimental points lie on the universal curve which can be fitted with a Koba-Neilsen-Olesen-type scaling function psi(Z = n/sub p//) = (4Z+4Z/sup 3/-5Z/sup 5/+0.35Z/sup 7/)exp(-2.957Z). .AE 57Z). .AE
