According to seminal work of Kontsevich, the unstable homology of the mapping class group of a surface can be computed via the homology of a certain Lie algebra. In a recent paper, S. Morita analyzed the abelianization of this Lie algebra, thereby constructing a series of candidates for unstable classes in the homology of the mapping class group. In the current paper, we show that these cycles are all nontrivial, representing homology classes inH k ( M 1 k Q )S kfor all k ⩾ 5 satisfying k ≡ 1 mod 4. Here M 1 kis the mapping class group of a genus one surface with k punctures.
