A wide-field, prime-focus photographic search of most of the dynamically permitted satellite space of Saturn and Uranus to limiting magnitude 22.5 revealed no new outer satellites. This search is approximately 2.5 mag deeper than previous surveys. For bodies of geometric albedo 0.04, the search would have revealed outer satellites of Saturn with diameter 20 km and greater, and outer satellites of Uranus with diameter 70 km and greater. This work was carried out with the Canada-France-Hawaii 3.6-m telescope on Mauna Kea.
