All the quoted authors agree that Lamarck has gone too far by dealing with this shell 

 as a separate species. The specimen from Stat. 37 is a young worn shell.

This species is slightly variable in the number of spirals, which vary from 4 to 7, but 

 agree in other respects; the largest is smaller than Reeve's figure (line on the left) but agrees 

 in colour, which may be too dark in Sowerby's monograph, where it is more brown.
