Circularity = -1 ??

Dear ImageJ users

I am measuring the circularity of cells. I noticed there are  
circularity values equal to -1. What does -1 in circularity mean?

Thanking you

It means that the calculated circularity value was greater than 1.0,
which can happen with very small particles. In ImageJ 1.37, circularity
values greater than 1.0 are set to 1.
