Three Column Layout fails

I was able to successfully create the two columns for the Contact Page (although they don't stack on top on one another when the screen is reduced to smartphone size, which is a separate issue.) However, my Portfolio CSS code is basically being ignored. Can anyone tell me what the issue might be?

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {


  /**********************
TWO COLUMN LAYOUT
***********************/

  #primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left; 
  }

  #secondary {
    width: 40%;
    float: right;
  }


/**********************
PAGE PORTFOLIO
***********************

#gallery li {
  width: 28.3333%;
  }

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
  clear: left;
  }

}

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

  }

/**********************
GENERAL
***********************/

body {
  font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 90%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%; 
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery li a p {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 5%;
  font-size: 0.75em;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

h3 {
  margin: 0 0 1em 0;
}

/*********************
PAGE: PORTFOLIO
**********************/

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

Sophia;

It looks like you are missing your closing comment tag */ in your first Portfolio section.

That would likely do it.

Wow. I can always see other people's coding errors, but apparently not my own, lol. I guess the value of a fresh pair of eyes can't be over-estimated. Thanks Ken!
