Notes

At 13 Harry was employed in the dispensary at (Royal) Prince Alfred Hospital. In 1891 he was apprenticed to W. V. Bond, a chemist and tooth-drawer. After passing the Board of Pharmacy's preliminary examination, Cox voluntarily attended evening classes run by the Pharmaceutical Society of New South Wales; he passed examinations in botany, inorganic chemistry and materia medica in 1896; he was to be registered on 14 October next year under the Pharmacy Act (1897).

In later years,in partnership with his brothers in a Queensland dairy-farm, Cox had bought Jersey cattle because of their top-quality milk. He joined the Australasian Jersey Herd Society in 1919 and was co-opted to its executive. As president of the Australian Cattle Research Association, he was prominent in campaigns to eradicate such cattle diseases as piroplasmosis, brucellosis and mastitis. Later, he was president of the Australian Dairy Produce Board.
