We have searched for periodic optical pulsations from Cyg X-1, Cyg X-2, 3 U 1700 - 37, Her X-1, Sco X-1, Vela X-1, SMC X-1, WRA 977, and from the central region of the Cygnus Loop. Most observations were confined to the spectral features around 4640-4650 A and 4686 A, which are seen in most X-ray source counterparts, are known to be variable, and are likely to be associated with the X-ray emission. No optical pulsations were detected, but upper limits are established and related to the X-ray behavior.
