The Koba-Nielsen-Olesen semi-inclusive scaling hypothesis has been tested for the two nearly homogeneous groups of target nuclei in nuclear emulsion. It is shown that the value of the parameter ..cap alpha.. in the scaling function used by Buras et al. is close to zero for the emulsion data, regardless of the size of the target nucleus. The experimental shower-particle multiplicity distributions from proton-emulsion experiments are found to be consistent with the scaling hypothesis from current Fermilab energies down to 6.2 GeV.
