He had an active private practice as a physician and for nearly 50 years was associated with the Sydney Infirmary as a physician, surgeon and reformer of the hospital's management. A pharmacopoeia which he compiled in 1870 initially met with some resistance. Between 1883 and 1901 he lectured in medical principles and practice at the University of Sydney. Cox was also one of the leading naturalists in New South Wales. He was a foundation member of the Entomological Society of New South Wales and later President of its successor, the Linnean Society of New South Wales. In particular he was noted as a conchologist. He discovered many new species. Among his more than 130 publications was the first monograph published in Australia on molluscs, A monograph of Australian land shells (1868). While most of his shells was sold in London 1904 - 1905, some of his collection was donated to the Australian Museum. 1857 1857 Education - MD, University of Edinburgh 1858 1858 Education - Fellow, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh 1859 1859 Career event - Registered as a medical practitioner in New South Wales 1859 1866 Career position - Fellow, Philosophical Society of New South Wales 1862 1862 Career position - Inaugural Secretary, Entomological Society of New South Wales 1862 1862 Career position - Inaugural President, New South Wales Board of Fisheries 1862 1872 Career position - Honorary Physician, Sydney Hospital 1864 1900 Career position - Examiner in Medicine, University of Sydney 1865 1912 Career position - Member of the Board (and sometime Chairman), Australian Museum 1866 1912 Award - Fellow, Royal Society of New South Wales 1868 1912 Award - Fellow, The Linnean Society of London (FLS) 1873 1876 Career position - Honorary Consulting Physician, Sydney Hospital 1874 1904 Career position - Member of Council, Linnean Society of New South Wales 1877 1879 Career position - Honorary Surgeon, Sydney Hospital 1880 1883 Career position - Member, Board of Directors, Sydney Hospital 1880 1911 Career position - Honorary Consulting Physician, Sydney Hospital 1881 1883 Career position - President, Linnean Society of New South Wales 1882 1900 Career position - Lecturer in Principles and Practice of Medicine, Medical School, University of Sydney 1888 Career event - Original [founding] member, Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science 1889 1901 Career position - Honorary physician, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney 1901 1901 Career position - Inaugural President, Australian Historical Society MacGillivray, John (1821 - 1867) The University of Sydney (1850 - )
