The K − p experiments at 32.1 GeV/ c and 33.8 GeV/ c in the Mirabelle bubble chamber are reviewed and the resulting topological cross sections are compared to lower energy data with beam momenta between 4.2 and 16 GeV/ c . Some quantities characterizing the multiplicity distributions are compiled for these data and their energy dependence is compared to results from pp experiments. Studying the scaling behavior of the K − p multiplicity distributions, “quasi scaling” is observed for data with p Lab ≧ 8.25 GeV/ c .
