Abstract: We compute the abelianisations of the mapping class groups of the manifolds $W_g^{2n}=g(S^{n}imes{S}^n)$ for $ngeq3$ and $ggeq5$. The answer is a direct sum of two parts. The first part arises from the action of the mapping class group on the middle homology, and takes values in the abelianisation of the automorphism group of the middle homology. The second part arises from bordism classes of mapping cylinders and takes values in the quotient of the stable homotopy groups of spheres by a certain subgroup which in many cases agrees with the image of the stable $J$-homomorphism. We relate its calculation to a purely homotopy theoretic problem.
