The mechanisms for feeding and decay of superdeformed (SD) bands are examined. Data connected with both processes in {sup 192}Hg are compared with model calculations. The calculations successfully reproduce the data, suggesting that the mechanisms for both processes are understood. Constraints on the energy of the SD band energies and on the well-depths at low and high spins have been obtained. At the point of decay around spin 10, we suggest that the SD band is 3.3--4.3 MeV above the normal yrast line and that the well depths at spin 10 and 40 are 0.5--1.3 and 3.5--4.5 MeV, respectively.
